Important Notice:
We are currently not accepting submissions (Regular and Power Listings) in addition to 'Advertise with Us' and 'Free Books & Deals' due to maintenance.
To help authors spread the word and promote their books, we offer four services and options that will meet every author's needs and budget. Although, 3 out of 4 services are paid for, the fee to be paid is very minimal and very affordable. Here are our services in brief:

Power Listing books will also receive extensive sharing on social media (Twenty tweets on Twitter, be posted to several reading and book Facebook groups and communities and more). Power Listings will also be included in the Random Book block, which surface on many pages of the website and acts like an additional advertisement. All of these features will help in giving your book the exposure and attention it deserves. This Listing fee is USD 4.99 Only.
