THE BASICS
The Fussy Librarian sends subscribers a daily email, which is where your ebook will be featured once on its scheduled promotion date.
We offer two types of ebook promotions — free and discounted — each with its own submission process and login system. Please choose the option that matches how your book will be priced on the promotion day.
THE BARGAIN EBOOK NEWSLETTER
(Discounted ebooks priced $0.99–$5.99)
120,000 subscribers
This newsletter is for discounted ebooks only. Free ebooks should not be submitted here.
For current pricing by genre, please visit: Prices / genre statistics.
In order to be considered, your ebook should have:
- A quality cover
- A price of $5.99 or less on the day of the promotion (we recommend $0.99 or $2.99, but it is not required)
- Reviews are recommended but not required; we do accept new releases (books with more reviews generally do better)
Please note:
- We do not offer guarantees or predictions of how many copies your book will sell.
- The current bargain newsletter system does not provide click data.
- If you promote in a secondary genre, your book may appear there only for readers who do not already receive your primary genre. On the website, it will display under the primary genre only.
- We reserve the right to cancel a promotion submission and refund your fee.
Tip: You can view the calendar of openings here: Check bargain book openings.

Additional exposure for wide bargain titles
If your bargain ebook is available on retailers beyond Amazon, selected titles may receive additional exposure at no extra charge as part of our broader outreach to Nook, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play readers, and our specialized newsletters for mystery/thriller, romance, and fantasy/science fiction. These newsletters reach an additional 30,000 readers.

THE FREE EBOOK NEWSLETTER
570,000 subscribers
About this newsletter:
- Your book must be free to everyone for the entire day of promotion (U.S. time).
- Your scheduled promotion date is always guaranteed.
- Your book will be included on our free ebook page starting at 8:30 a.m. central US time on the day of your promotion.
- You can include links to BookFunnel or your website if that's how to are distributing the ebook.
In addition:
If your book remains free beyond your scheduled date, it may also be eligible for additional visibility within our newsletters during that free window, depending on availability and reader preferences. We recommend making your book available for at least three days and promoting with us on day 1.
For example:
- A 5-day KDP Select promotion may continue to receive exposure beyond Day One
- A longer free period (such wide promotions) allows for additional opportunities up to 30 days.
Because our emails are personalized, different readers may encounter your book on different days — not just at a single moment in time.
Prices vary by genre and are listed here: Prices / genre statistics.
