Post your article directory to directorycritic.com that should be enough. And build PR, authors will find you after...
I think if you allow affiliate links in the article, many of us will rush to post articles in your directory.
You must search for "Article Directory Lists" and then request the owner of the list to add your Article Directory. In most cases you can leave a comment with the details of your article directory. BTW, what is your article directory? If it is good, you can contact article submission companies and ask them to add your directory to their list.
I presume your article directory is new, well promoting it is the same as promoting any new Web site. You may do the following, web directory submissions, article directory submissions, press releases, blog commenting, social sites, bookmarking sites, forum posting etc.
Improve your site first. Have a rich content about common categories such as business, health, entertainment and then seo for it. People will come to you.
Your article can promote to submit many articles directories. On the other hands if you have article directory then submit artilce directories where every article owner submits.
