REQUIREMENTS

Let's Make Sure Your Book is a Great Fit

We’re looking for high-quality mysteries and thrillers that our readers will love.
If your book meets most of the criteria below, you’re in the right place.

✅ GENRE

Mystery or thriller only. Includes all subgenres like crime, suspense, psychological thriller, etc.
If your book is science fiction or fantasy go to BookBarbarian.com and look for an open promo spot there.
If it’s romance or erotica, check out RedRosesRomance.com and submit there.

✅ PRICING

Free or discounted. Typically $0.99–$2.99 for paid promos.
Must be discounted on the day of promotion. The price we’re promoting your book should match the discounted retail price. If the price does not match on the day of your promotion, we will not include your book and will be unable to grant a refund.
A limited-time offer. The deal has to be special and time sensitive.
The best deal. If a book has been free in the previous ninety days, that’s the only price we’re willing to feature it at.

✅ QUALITY

A professionally produced novel. This means a great cover, error free text that is well-formatted and proficiently edited, and a strong product description.
Books should have at least ten reviews with an average star rating of 3.5 or better on the Amazon.com USA website. Reviews exception: If the novel is a new release, we will consider it if you have a previously published book with more than 50 reviews from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

✅ AVAILABILITY

Widely available. Your book needs to be available on at least one major retailer (Amazon preferred). The more places you sell your book, the better.

✅ BOOK TYPE

Standalone novels or book 1 in a series (preferred).
Later books in a series may be accepted if they are stand-alone novels.
