FL The Fussy Librarian

Your promotion doesn't end after Day 1.

Your promotion begins on your scheduled date — but it does not necessarily end there.

The Fussy Librarian has upgraded how free ebook promotions are delivered, tracked, and reported, giving authors a guaranteed start date, clearer reports, and more opportunity for reader discovery while a book remains free.

Guaranteed scheduled date

Your book will be included on the promotion date you schedule. That date is the guaranteed beginning of your campaign.

Exposure during the free window

If your book remains free after its scheduled date, it may stay eligible for additional appearances while that free window is open.

Matched to readers who selected your genres

Readers receive newsletters shaped around the genres they selected, helping your book reach people already interested in that kind of story.

7-day and 30-day reports

Live performance reports show click totals and placement history, so you can see what happened after your promotion began.

Better reader experience

Larger text, cleaner layouts, easier retailer links, and country-aware Amazon links make it easier for readers to find the right store.

Easier future promotions

Clearer reporting helps you understand your results and plan future promotions with more confidence.

Most promotions focus on one day. Ours can keep working while your book remains free.

Actual Promotion Report (Anonymized)

In early multi-appearance reports, more than half of clicks often came after the scheduled promotion date. Results vary, but the reports make that discovery path much easier to see.

For many authors, the 7-day and 30-day reports reveal that a significant portion of reader discovery occurred after the guaranteed promotion date.

A free promotion can have more than one moment

The scheduled date is guaranteed. Additional appearances may occur while your book remains free.

Guaranteed scheduled date Your promotion begins when you schedule it.
2
Possible added exposure During the rest of the free window.

Reports show the path 7-day and 30-day results show clicks and placements.
Schedule on Day 1 when possible.

For multi-day free promotions, Day 1 matters

We recommend scheduling with us on the first day your book is free. This gives your book the best chance to benefit from additional exposure during the rest of its free window.

How the free window works

Limited KDP Select window If your book is free for a limited KDP Select window, it may receive additional exposure during that free window.
Free for up to 30 days If your book remains free for up to 30 days, it may remain eligible throughout that period.

Important notes

  • Your scheduled promotion date is always guaranteed.
  • Additional appearances are not guaranteed.
  • Additional exposure depends on availability, reader preferences, and the book remaining free.
  • Performance varies by genre, cover, blurb, retailer availability, and reader interest.
