What it is
Ebook promotion company behind five reader newsletters: Freebooksy (free ebooks), Bargain Booksy (US$0.99–US$5 deals), Red Feather Romance (romance only), NewInBooks (new releases) and Audio Thicket (audiobooks). The official site says it reaches over 1 million readers and has been used by more than 30,000 authors. You pick a brand, genre and date, and the editorial team reviews the book within three days. Your ebook must at least be on Amazon.com; Apple, Nook, Google Play and Kobo links can be added. Honest caveat: no promo guarantees sales, and well-booked dates in popular genres fill up, so plan ahead.
Pricing model
Paid — Pay-per-promotion by newsletter brand and genre, shown at booking (checked Oct 2026). Full refund if you cancel at least 3 business days before the run date; no refund inside that window or if your price is wrong on the morning of the promo. Paid memberships add extras such as Limelight.. Always confirm on the vendor site before buying; plans change.
