Frequently Asked Questions
A high-quality email list of readers is (arguably) the greatest asset in any author’s marketing toolkit. With an email list, authors have control — you can directly connect with readers, sell your books, and turn them into superfans without relying on 3rd-party sites like Amazon and Facebook.
We currently provide 300 – 600 emails per contest, on average, with reported open rates of 50% or more.
Depending on popularity, some promotions can generate 1,000 or more. If you receive less than 200, we’re glad to offer you another promotional opportunity for free.
Yes! Our promotions are GDPR compliant.
Readers are required to check boxes by the names of the authors whose lists they want to join, indicating consent, and must also check a box indicating they acknowledge they will be receiving newsletter / marketing emails from them.
We also include relevant documentation in the files we distribute after the contest ends, as part of a “GDPR Kit” for authors involved in our promotions. (More details here.)
In the event of a cancellation, a 100% refund of payment will be issued in all cases if requested prior to the author sign-up deadline, as stated on the contest sign-up page. If a cancellation is requested after the sign-up deadline expires, a 50% refund will be provided.
Short answer: Yes!
We have worked with authors in virtually every publishing situation imaginable. Whether your book is traditionally published, indie published, enrolled in KDP Select, or only available on Tuesdays and February 29th, we can make it happen.
For indie authors, we recommend offering ebooks via BookFunnel.
If you’re a traditionally published author, you can send a physical copy OR offer an ebook as a gift via Amazon or Barnes & Noble (or you might contact your publisher to see if they can help). Please visit our support center here for more information.
Good question! This might be surprising, but based on conversations with readers and surveys we’ve conducted over the years, the #1 reason folks participate in our promotions is not to win a prize…
It’s to discover books and authors they’ve never seen before — authors like you! So, whether you’re popular or not, don’t fear. You’re in the right place :)
Absolutely! If you work for a publisher or are part of a group of at least 15 authors interested in creating your own promotion, email us here.
