For Authors
Our site is designed to help promote Authors and their books in an equitable way. An author’s popularity and/or income shouldn’t favour them in how they are able to reach new readers.
We’ve created tools and options that enable any author to promote themselves within their own genre, gender and location as well as to give them greater control over their listings within a directory style site.
Author Profile Listings
Existing profiles have been added from a publicly available biographies on one of your retail sites at some point in the past. Of course these can get out of date and you might wish to make modifications to your profile. Our Membership Option allows you to self-edit all of your profile and book information.

Comparatively to many author promotion options in the market we feel it offers a lot of value to you and allows you heavily discounted promotions designed to let any author get their books promoted and not just the biggest.

Featured Promotions
Across many of the pages within out site we offer the following opportunities:
- Featured Book Spots (max 4 per page)
- Featured Author Spots (max 4 per page)
- A combination of both Book and Author Spots
Not all pages can have promotion spots.
Each spot is priced on a first come first served basis. I.e. Spot 1 goes first, then 2, 3, and 4. There is no variation in price for a position on the page.
The spots available are restricted so no one author or series of books can dominate a category. Popularity does not determine the availability of a spot. Additionally any individual author has a limit of the number of total spots they can book in any one calendar year.
These restrictions are designed to ensure an equitable opportunity for authors to promote both themselves and their books. The guidelines for authors are available within the Members and Advertisers section. You can order promotions without being a member, but note the price is higher than what members receive. Select Advertiser only when creating an account and you will find additional information inside your account area.
Starting at $25 USD for non-members ($10 for members) your promotion will run for an entire month in the selected section of the site. Not a one-off email blast but a full calendar month of exposure for you or your books.
