In my quest to help authors promote their book I am going to make a list of places where you can submit your book for free to get it in the hands of readers. I realize that it is hard to get your book in the hands of readers and hopefully this resource will grow. If you know of a place that is not on the list submit it to the comments and I will add it.
First place is of course our site.
Awesomegang.com Submit your book
ToplessCowboy.com – Romance books only
Dave over on KindlePreneur.com also has a Great list of the Best Book Promotion Sites.
Our site also has a free promotional place for authors to be interviewed. Just fill out the author interview form.
I seem to have run into the same block with the Twitter link as the others. I’ll submit without the twitter for ONE HUNDRED NAKED GIRLS –
It is: @Terrible Tibor
Cheers,
Andy Halmay
Hi Awesome
Really like this site so I have posted by book info and my author interview but they don’t seem to be featured on your pages. I can’t find my book info listed, for example. I am missing something?
Thanks
Heath Buckley
Hi Heath
Here is your interview. http://awesomegang.com/heath-buckley/
Hey Vinny,
I submitted an Author Interview a few days ago but I’m starting to get worried that something went wrong after I hit the Submit. What should I do?
Thanks,
Tony
Hi Tony
Here is your interview http://awesomegang.com/tony-breeden/ I am backed up a bit on the interviews. Sorry for the delay!
Vinny- Once again, you guys are here for me. Thanks so much.
I try my best 🙂
Do you do free promotions for erotca?
Yes we do but we would prefer that you listed them on our sister site http://pretty-hot.com
I love this site and I really liked what you did to promote my book ‘The Love Spell’ with the interview etc. I am going to make it free to download for one day. Where on your site can I announce this please?
Many thanks
Heath
Heath your book is already listed on the site so there is no reason to submit it again.
On the day your book is free, place it on our Facebook fan page. https://www.facebook.com/ourawesomegang
Hi,
I just submitted my book Crossroads Serenade for the free promo day on Aug 21 2013 but my photo of the book cover won’t upload. Can you pull it over from the Amazon page? Please let me know. Maybe it showed up on your side but I didn’t see it.
Thanks,
Laurie Adair Grove
Hi Laurie
Your image came through just fine. The cover never shows up on the email confirmation. Your book is all set up and ready to go. Thanks for submitting.
Hi there, Vinny.
By chance, do you have a UK affiliate?
Or, for that matter, any recommendations for free distribution in other countries?
Thanks much.
Chris F.
I am not sure what you mean by a UK Affiliate. All the sites listed above are international.
I have submitted my book “Famous Kids in History” to you and Pixels of Ink but I don’t see it listed on either site. Did I overlook it?
Your book is here it was published on the 19th
Thank you, Vinny. It looks great.
You are very welcome Mike I hope you sell a lot of books!
I am completely mortified to have to write this, but I originally listed my novel for a free run from Oct 10-14 and I am no longer able to do the free run for those dates. I realize how much time and effort you put into these listings and that any changes are an extreme inconvenience on your part. So, if it isn’t possible to change, I understand and will unfortunately have to withdraw my submission from your page. If it is possible to resubmit the dates to Oct 19-23, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
Not a problem, I can handle that. No reason to resubmit. Good luck with sales!
I just submitted Eternal Infinite for FREE Days coming up, 10-3 thru 10-6. Do I need to resubmit the book each free day it lists on Kindle or just the one time?
We only take book submissions once. Setting it for the 3rd is correct way to go.
Hi Vinny,
I recently filled out the author interview form, but it stalled/borked when I submitted it so I filled it out and sent it again. If you find two, just delete one of them with my apologies.
Ok Thanks for letting us know.
Hi,
Due to mess-up, my promo days for Killer Ride are 11/10-11, not 11/9-10. I am so sorry about any inconvenience.
Gail
Hi Vinny,
Mistakenly I submitted my book “Modes of Transportation: ABC Book of Rhymes” to you twice. Please disregard the second submission.
Thank you
Happy Holidays
Yael
Hi Yael
No problem, it happens!
Happy Holidays to you and your family also.
I want to do the $10 advertising. I know you have some of my info for when I had a free promo. Do I need to resubmit all of my information and where would I do that? Thanks!
Cyndi
Hi Cyndi
I see you also sent me an email. I will answer your question there.
Hi Vinny,
I submitted my book Fairies & Fantasy for three days, 2/17-2/19/2014. Here’s my twitter @FeliciaMires
Thanks for the help. I appreciate the newsletters and the twitter updates.
Felicia Mires
Hello,
I tried to submit an author interview, but it gave me an error because I do not have Smashwords and pininterest accounts.
Also, I added the incorrect cover image for Murder in Mystic and would like to add another. Please advise how to do that.
Hi Marilyn
Sorry you are having issues. Can you tell me exactly what the error said? As for the wrong image send the right one to vinny@awesomegang.com and I will fix it.
hi–i submitted my book, The Spoon From Minkowitz, for a free review, and thank you for offering that. I haven’t seen it featured, and just want to be sure you got my submission.
Hi Judith
I don’t see your book in our system. I do see an author interview which I just put live. You can see it here Judith Fein. When did you submit your book?
I just submitted my book on your site, but also wanted to ask if you could add my website, http://www.choosybookworm.com, to your Places To Submit Your Book For Free Promotion page. I started the site to help out indie authors, like myself, get their name, and books, out to as many people as possible. Thank you so much for your help with this and for featuring my book. I truly do appreciate it. :o)
Hi Jay
I added your site, glad to connect with others that help authors promote their book.
Hi Vinny!
Thank you so much for featuring my site. I truly do appreciate it. :o)
I’m sorry to ask this, but the site is spelled wrong on the page. The link works great and everything, but the name has an extra ‘e’ in it. Could you fix the name on your site to say ‘Choosy Bookworm’? Thank you again, so very much, for your help and for listing my site on your page. :o)
Hi Jay, Your welcome! Hope you can return the favor with a link somewhere 🙂
Took care of the typo!
Hi Vinny,
thanks so much for fixing the typo!
And thank you again for your link to our Page. It’s been a big help!
I added a link to your site from ours. Check it out here:
http://choosybookworm.com/friends-of-choosy/
Hope you like it! :o)
– Jay
Hi Jay thanks for the link back, much appreciated.
Hello,
| was wondering was my book featured as part of the free promotion?
Joseph
What is the name of the book?
Thank you for providing this great info for KDP Select promos.
You are very welcome!
Hi Vinny
I applaud your efforts to help authors promote their books.
All the best
Frank O’Neill
Thank you for your help in getting my books noticed and for an easy to navigate site.
Thank you for providing such great tools for helping authors promote their books.
Hello,
Just wondering if you have received my book submission, Simply Starfish. Was wondering if I have to put it on timeline on the facebook fan page or wait for it to be listed by you. Also, does it have to be free before doing so? Am new to this site and therefore asking these questions.
Thanks,
Marylyn
Hi Marylyn
We have your book info and it will be live tomorrow just like you asked for. As for the Facebook fan page, you can post it there also. WE will be posting it there also.
Hi – I see all these comments referring to Twitter addresses. I think your forms are looking for a http:// URL address whereas Twitter doesn’t have those for each account but uses the @twitterhandle format to point to accounts. You must be able to change this on the format template.
Hi Michael That was indeed the problem. I have removed the twitter box altogether because half the authors only used the @handle and half did it the way we asked. It became to problematic to edit.
Hi Vinny,
I can’t see the time management ebook.
A.M.KHAN
Your book is right here http://awesomegang.com/time-management/
Awesome post! Very helpful 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Vinny 🙂
is my book on your site Vinny “the Quest, A Romantic Thriller, Face your fear “
Hi Marc
Your book is right here (edit removed because of bad links to the book and promo being over)
Any progress on the author interview? Please verify that you received my info. Thanks
Hi Robert Your interview is right here http://awesomegang.com/robert-eggleton/
Hey Vinnie,
Thanks for great site. Did you receive my YA book Collision for this weekend 17Oct advertising? Can you please add that it’s on a three day price reduction 0ct 17 99c; Oct 18 $1.99; Oct 19 back to normal price $2.99.
I’ll also submit an author interview
PJ
Hi PJ Yes we did. Your book is all set up and I added the info you requested and an extra day on the homepage 🙂
Good luck with your promo.
Hey Vinny,
I was wondering how many of the sites listed on here do Kindle Countdown Deals. I am trying to get an idea so I’m not running around on here.
Thanks,
Justin
Hi Justin. I am not sure but I would guess that most of them do. The sites change all the time and it would be impossible for me to keep up with that.
HI,
I was wondering should I submit my book under this site or under the sister site since their is adult content but not to the point that I would classify it as erotica?
We take erotica on all our sites so you can submit to either or both.
Hi,
Do you accept single short story submissions or is it only novels? Also, if I submit my book here, will I have a problem with Kindle Unlimited rules?
Thanks
Chris
We accept stories of all sizes. You will be submitting your Amazon link so there is no issue with KDP.
Is Christian books accepted
Yes we accept Christian books.
Hi Vinny,
My website is missing a letter, can you correct it please.
it should be kittysbookshelf.com
Thank you!
Kitty
All fixed up 🙂
Vinny,
How can I update a previously submitted interview?
Just send me the changes you want. You can also resubmit and I can remove the old one.
I just paid with PayPal the $10 for the promotion, but I didn’t enter the name of the book in the payment, can you link it?
“Essential Oils for Healing kit” by John Brown.
Thanks.
Hi John
Thanks for submitting. I will match up the book with payment.
Hello,
How many days in advance do i need to submit the details for a book promotion?
We like about a week if possible.
I just paid for a promotion. I have been submitting so many that I may have gotten confused. Her book is going to be .99, not free.
Do you promote discounted books too, or just free ones?
Thanks!
Thanks for submitting. We accept books of all prices. With that in mind our readers are looking for books $3.99 and under. They do a lot better with downloads. Your book is priced just fine.
Thank you very much first of all to allow me to share my book in your amazing site and for this very helpful list. it was very helpful for me as a new to book promotion.
