*Authors: BookGoodies Mega Submit

  • This will be the name that will appear in the book post title as the author. If you use a pen name be sure to use the correct author name here.

    If this is an anthology or a multiple author book then please put Multiple Authors as the name and list the authors at the top of your book description.

  • This is your real name so when we email you we know who you are. If it is the same as your "pen name" we need you to type it again please.

  • Email will not be displayed or shared. This must be the author's contact email address.

  • This must be the email address that you use to pay via PayPal for your submission to our site. If you don't use a PayPal account (you can pay with a credit card without a PayPal account) then you can repeat your author email here.
  • Please do not use all caps and do not include your subtitle. Only use the actual book title.

  • This is where you entice people to click to learn more about your book. If you have a multiple author book, a bundle, or anthology please list all the authors that are included immediately at the top of the synopsis.

    Do not include links or html in this section, other than page breaks and line breaks. You do not need to include those.

    Do not paste directly from a Word document or your Amazon page, please copy to a plain text editor first and paste it from there. Poorly formatted descriptions will cause delays to your post being posted.

    Any added links will be deleted without notice. Allowed links are listed below and must be posted in the fields below.

  • Please indicate here if your book is appropriate for children, YA, all audiences or is for adult audiences only.

  • This may not be left blank and should be more than a sentence.

  • If your book is nonfiction please type "nonfiction" in this box. Otherwise this may not be left blank and should be more than a sentence. Readers want to know.

  • An excerpt is not required but it helps people decide to click over to your book page. Books submitted with good excerpts will be considered for inclusion in additional special promotions.

    Do not copy and paste directly from Word. Paste to a plain text document first to be sure to remove extra formatting. No html is allowed here other than line breaks or paragraph breaks. If your excerpt formatting is bad, we will not post your book.

  • YouTube links work best. Must be direct link to video, not to a page that has a video on it. This will play directly in the post. This is not a place for the link to your book on your bookseller page

  • *Name your image with the name of your book - without spaces between the words.* DO NOT NAME YOUR COVER WITH COVER.jpg OR OTHER GENERIC NAMES - your cover WILL get overwritten by others named the same. Images with generic names will overwrite existing book covers.

    Please send an image no larger that 400 pixels wide. Large images will cause the form to fail.

    Accepted file types: jpg, jpeg, png, gif.

  • If your category isn't listed just use the closest category, i.e. Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry etc. Please list additional categories in the Tags field below.

  • If applicable choose the appropriate price category. If your book is priced over $3 then do not choose a category here.

    Bargain books are eBooks priced under $3.00 and print books priced under $7.00
    Permafree books are ebooks that are permanently priced at zero.

  • Since most books are available in eBook there is not a choice for that. If your book is available in print and/or audiobook format please check those boxes here.
  • Please include your author name and up to 10 tags. All tags need to be separated by commas. Use the following format:

    Author Pen Name, Subgenres, other keywords

    Tags are keywords or your specific genres. If you submit more than 10 tags the rest will be deleted.

    If your book is an anthology or bundle please list ALL the authors - they will not count towards your 10 tags.

    Separate tags with commas

  • In all link fields below we need direct links to the sites - NO SHORTCODES OR LINK SHORTENERS OR REDIRECTS
