Sunday Kindle eBook Give Away


I'm excited to roll out this new on-going Kindle e-book give-away each Sunday. Here's how it works:


1. Authors, if you have a Kindle title, you can submit it to be highlighted by this blog on a Sunday. Submission is free.

2. If your book is chosen to be highlighted, we will contact you for more information and to set a date that your book will be highlighted.

3. From the Sunday your book is featured through the following Saturday, people will have a chance to leave a comment on the post. At 9PM on the Saturday after your book is highlighted, I will randomly choose a winner to receive a Kindle gift copy of your book from you.

4. Amazon allows you to send a Kindle book as a gift to others. You as the author agree to purchase a copy of your Kindle title as a gift to the winner through Amazon.com. No other file type will be acceptable. The cost of your Kindle book is the only investment you will have in this promotion.

5. That's it! Pretty simple.



Please note these qualifications for your book to be considered for this give away.

A. No erotica will be considered for this give away.
B. Your book must be rated over 3 stars on Amazon with at least 5 Amazon reviews.
C. Your submission will in no way guarantee that we will choose your book to feature for this give away. Participation is at our sole discretion.

Scroll down to submit your book for consideration.


I am thrilled to have two co-sponsors for this new feature, both at the top of the e-book marketing field.

Submission Form

Due to an overwhelming response to this giveaway by Kindle authors, we are temporarily suspending new submissions to make sure authors don't have to wait a year to see their book participate.

On behalf of Piotr Kowalczyk, Steven Lewis, and myself, I want to thank you for your interest in the Sunday Kindle Book Giveaway. We look forward to our first giveaway in June and we look forward to reopening the submission process soon.

Hi Tony,
I read the rules about your submission. Everything qualifies, but rule B which I am one review shy, but they are all 4 and 5 stars. I have a review by an Amazon Top reviewer which was my only 4 star (the rest are 5), but it was a great review. This is for my paperback--my kindle edition just has been released so I'm looking for exposure for it, and I am just a starting author, and I wrote this book when I was 16 and 17. I hope you don't mind me submitting, but I wanted to tell you about it as I do so (in case I don't find the link again-lol). Follow you on twitter, but this message too long to write there. I know no guarantees, but this is a good opportunity!

What a great opportunity for Kindle authors! Tony, your site is full of great tips but this is really putting the marketing into practice. I'm eager to see the books highlighted and to check them out. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your contest.

Backwoodsauthor, I did get your e-mail. I wanted to respond to you and Dianne here and thank you for your comments. The interest in this giveaway promo is great than I anticipated. The coo-sponsors and myself are working through the logistics of the high interest as I type. This is going to be a fun campaign!

Ugh, I saw this article several days ago when it was still open and wasn't able to enter quite yet. Stinks it's closed now.

Ugh! Who will take erotica seriously? I try to write with a serious mind, love and sharing and equality or more active women, rather than submissive, in the stories. It could make a world of difference if you could write books that could help people and at the same time be entertaining. Could there perhaps be eligibility for erotica writers in the future?

What people are saying about our free marketing video tips

Let me just tell you... Your archive tip on linking a photo to another page where people can buy your book was so incredibly helpful and amazingly clear that you now have a real fan. SO smart to take away the fear that so many have of HTML. I followed it to the letter and posted a link on my blog today. Have a look. It's all because of you.
