Amazon today announced that the Kindle Storyteller Award, recognising outstanding work by independent authors with a £20,000 cash prize, will return for its third year in 2019. The award is open to all authors who publish their book through Kindle Direct Publishing on Amazon.co.uk from 1st May 2019 to 31st August 2019.
Book Hub's Book Giveaways have been generating hundreds of new subscribers for our authors over recent months, and gaining in popularity, but one recent giveaway incorporated a competition and her own additional promotional work to break the mould and generate more than 1,250 entries.
Whether you're a veteran author who knows the ropes, or an aspiring newcomer looking to launch your first book, reviews might mean different things to you - and they do serve more than one purpose.
For a start, it’s simply nice to know that people have enjoyed your work. (We’ve seen reviews likened to a ‘tip jar’ for authors.)
Please note: To get the maximum benefit for marketing your book with us, we suggest you work through all of these activities one-by-one.
You don't have to do this all at once, so go through each step, get that section done and then move onto the next. That way you will have covered all the book marketing tools we have set up.
Also, we ask you to save the page as you will need to come back each month to reset your Review Requests and if you forget how to do it, this page will remind you.
Every month, Book Hub send out a newsletter to our dedicated mailing list of readers. This list is growing by the week, and you can get your books and book offers in front of tens of thousands of potential fans.
Authors can pick from a variety of methods to enter the newsletter.
First of all, thank-you to all of the authors who have already booked in for the following promotions, but if you haven't yet, we still have a handful of places remaining for our new advertising led cross promotions for Sci-Fi, Mystery and Horror authors. But both time and space are running out with this week seeing our final deadlines.
Book Hub offer book marketing options to boost your book sales and mailing list growth. One of the ways authors increase their subscribers and book sales is through paid promos, book advertising and swapping spaces in newsletters.
This is a special message on Christmas Ever to thank you for the support you have given the promotions we have run on Book Hub this year. I hope we have been able to help grow your mailing lists, and given your book marketing a boost.
I hope 2018 proves to be happy, rewarding and prosperous for you and your family.
May you have ...
The spirit of Christmas which is Peace
The gladness of Christmas which is Hope
And the heart of Christmas which is Love
So, let's all share Peace, Hope and Love This Christmas!
