Advent Calendar FREE Book Spot
Your FREE book will appear in the list of books after the Second Spot. Your book might be listed third in the email, or it might appear futher down. It all depends on who booked first.
Well, yes and no.
For our Top & Second Sponsored Books
Yes: For our Top and Second Sponsor books, we accept books that are $2.99 or less. If they’re on Kindle Unlimited, that’s fine too. We have a lot of readers who enjoy KU and will likely pick your book up that way.
For our FREE Advent Calendar Books
Yes: for a free book, provided you are using one of your 5 free listing days. We check and if your book is not listed available to everyone for $0 on the day, we’re afraid it won’t be listed.
Unfortunately, if you have already used your free listing days (or “spent” them on a count-down deal), then “Free on KU only” doesn’t count.
The BRAZENBOOKSHELF advent calendar is open for all romance genres.
That means that any romance heat level is accepted: sweet, “clean”, right up to erotic stories. As are all sub-genres from Inpirational to historical, paranormal and urban fantasy, reverse harem to contemporary romance. We welcome romances regardless on the relationship being between men, women, both or everyone. Love is Love in our book.
The GEEKTASTICBOOKS advent calendar is open for all science fiction and fantasy genres.
Just so you know…
We only accept the following links:
Ebooks: Amazon, Apple, B&N, Google, Kobo, Smashwords
Audiobooks: Amazon/Audible, Apple, B&N, Chirp, Google, Kobo
Regardless of whether your book is listed on Amazon or not, our only stipulation on content is that it is “Amazon Rules Friendly”.
If you’re familiar with what you are allowed/not allowed to publish on Amazon, you’ll have a good idea of what this means. However, for clarity, I’ll explain that this means that if your book has dubious content (e.g. rape, beastiality blood insest etc) it is not suitable for this promotion.
We reserve the right not to promote any book and to do so without having to give an express reason. In the very unlikely event this happens, you will be contacted before your promotion date to discuss it.
We started doing these advent calendars way back in 2016, and after pausing for a few years, this will be our sixth advent calendar. From our previous experience we’ve found most readers are familiar with choosing their books from the major stores (Amazon, Audible, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Chirp, Google, Kobo and Smashwords). This is why we’ve made the decision to only accept links to these stores.
By only accepting links from these stores, we’re ensuring that the overwhelming majority of readers are able to find, download and read your books.
As with all our promotions, book links are only accepted for the stores already mentioned. Whether your book is listed on Amazon or not, it must be “Amazon Rules Friendly” – i.e. if it would get banned on Amazon, it’s not suitable for this promotion either.
We reserve the right not to promote any book and to do so without having to give an express reason. In the very unlikely event this happens, you will be informed before your promotion date.
If you’re booking a FREE Book spot, your book must be available for no cost to readers (either the ebook and/or audiobook version) on the retailers already listed.
We understand that audiobook prices aren’t always the same as ebook versions, and our readers are made aware of this too.
