Choose the right path for your book.
Submit a time-sensitive free or discounted book promotion, or share the deeper story behind your book for consideration as a longer-term Indie Book Stories feature.
Both routes are free to submit. All submissions are reviewed, and inclusion is not guaranteed.
A short-term promo listing, or a deeper story feature.
The quick form is for a live or upcoming deal. The story form is for authors who want to give us richer material that can work beyond one promotion window.
Free or discounted book promotion
Best when your book has a confirmed KDP, free, discounted, or short-term price promotion and you want it reviewed for listing while the deal is active.
- Built around a specific promotion window.
- May appear on relevant promo, homepage, or genre areas during the active deal period.
- Useful when you need a simple page to point readers towards your live offer.
Free author story submission
Best when you want your book considered for a richer, story-led feature that can stay useful beyond one temporary promotion.
- Captures the human story behind your book: inspiration, themes, reader experience, and creative journey.
- Accepted story features can become more durable, shareable author assets.
- Richer accepted submissions may be revisited, included in collections, or considered for future editorial and social sharing.
Free and optional. Submission does not guarantee publication, traffic, sales, downloads, reviews, rankings, or promotional performance.

View resourcesA promo listing is useful. A story feature can do more.
A standard promo listing is useful when a deal is live, but the strongest indie books often need more context: why the author wrote the book, who it is for, what inspired it, and what kind of reading experience it offers.
The free author story form gives us the deeper material needed for more original, reader-facing content. If accepted, that kind of feature is easier for us to revisit, connect into collections, and share when relevant.
Not sure which to choose?
If you have an active or upcoming price promotion, start with the book promotion route. If you want to give us the fuller story behind you and your book, complete the free author story form as well.
