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
By default we have added your profile from a publically available biography 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 Of course these can get out of date and you might wish to make modifications to your profile. Check out the membership options for that.

Adding your author profile if you don’t exist on the site
You can submit your profile link from Amazon to help identify yourself as an author who should be on this site by filling in our Suggest an Author form.
Book Listings
When we add an author we will load at least one of their books providing we have the correct information. Other books get queued to be added over time. For a verified author who has active membership you can self-manage the details of your books, add new books, and add additional retailer links for each book.
If you aren’t a member and would like books added, you can submit them to our librarian queue using our Missing Book Form. Keep in mind that errors and omissions can occur from third-party data, and data importing, so that the best way to keep control is for you to manage your own books.

Promotions and exposure on this site doesn’t require you to discount your books or give them away free, by being a member you get to have all of your titles indexed here as another source for readers and link directly to your own site, or any retailer you like.
It’s an annual fee that gets you priority support, new tools as we build them and additional exposure.
Featured Promotions
Available May 2024.
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.
