Submit a free or discounted Kindle promotion
Running a KDP free book promotion or a short-term Kindle deal? This is the fast route for getting your promotion considered for a time-sensitive listing on Indie Book Stories.
Free to submit. Every submission is reviewed. Publication, promotion, traffic, sales, downloads and rankings are not guaranteed.
A temporary listing for a time-limited deal
The promotion form is for authors who already have a free, discounted, or KDP promotion window planned. It is designed to capture the essential book and deal information quickly.
Submit the deal details
Tell us the book, dates, price, genre, retailer link and basic author information so we can review the promotion properly.
We review it
Submissions are checked before appearing on the site. Submitting means your book is considered, not automatically published.
Approved deals may be listed
If accepted, your promotion may appear on relevant pages during the active deal period, such as promo lists, genre areas, or the homepage.
Promotion listing or author story feature?
Indie Book Stories now has two free author routes. Pick the one that matches what you want this submission to do.
You have a live or upcoming deal
Choose the promotion form if your main goal is to submit a time-sensitive free or discounted book offer.
- You have KDP free promotion dates.
- Your book is temporarily discounted.
- You need a quick route for a deal listing.
- You mainly want the offer considered during its active window.
You want a richer, longer-term feature
Choose the free author story route if you want to share the human story behind your book: why you wrote it, what shaped it, and what readers may connect with.
- Better for deeper reader engagement.
- Designed as a longer-term shareable author asset.
- Gives us more original material to present, revisit and share.
- Separate from a short promo listing.
Have the basics ready
This form should be quick if your promotion is already planned. You will get the best result from submitting accurate, complete information.
You will usually need:
- Book title, subtitle and ASIN.
- Genre and retailer link.
- Promotion dates and promotional price.
- A clear book description.
- Author and submitter contact details.
What we can and cannot promise
We want authors to feel respected, but we also keep expectations honest.
What submission means
Your book will be considered for inclusion. If accepted, it may receive a listing connected to your promotion window.
What submission does not mean
Submission does not guarantee publication, homepage placement, sales, downloads, reviews, rankings, traffic, or promotional performance.
Send us your book promotion for review
Use the promotion form for a time-limited deal. Use the author story form if you want to submit richer material for a longer-term story-led feature.
