Tell us about your promotion

Keep this focused on the book and the deal. You’ll have the option to share a deeper author story separately.

Usually reviewed within 24 hours

This is the quick promo form.

The description below should be a short reader-facing book summary, not your full author journey. For inspiration, writing background, cover meaning or the story behind the book, use the free author story form after this.

Optional for books with long titles or subtitles.

Book description only
