A book blast is an event where a group of authors come together around a given theme (in this case, cozy fantasy!) to all set their ebooks to an agreed-upon discount price on the same day, and then we all tell our readers about it on that day. It’s a free and easy way to help lift each other up by sharing our readerships and helping our readers find new-to-them books they can try out at low prices that are relevant to their interests!
Book blasts typically result in high traffic for all the participating authors with a long tail, and readers love them! This book blast is modeled on the highly successful FaRoBub, so you can see an example of what the homepage will look like on the day of the blast here.
If you’re a cozy fantasy author interested in participating in Cozy Up With Fantasy book blasts, please email cozyupwithfantasy (at) gmail (dot) com so we can connect!
No need for a detailed message, just let us know you’d like to be contacted about participating in future cozy fantasy book blasts and the name of one of your cozy fantasy books or series.
If you don’t have a newsletter, please let us know where you will share the news on the day of the blast. And if it’s not published yet, please wait until there is an Amazon/Goodreads listing before contacting. This is just so we can make sure everything is actually cozy fantasy!
(We take a very broad view of what counts as cozy fantasy—cozy thrives on vibes!—so bring on your cozy gaslamp, paranormal, monster romance, LitRPG, and high fantasy, with high heat or none at all. We just want to make sure we’re leaving dark romance, grimdark, etc. for other book blasts. <3)
There are no minimum rating/review requirements to participate! All books must be a) cozy fantasy and b) not have used generative AI in the creation of either the manuscript or the cover.
We are especially excited to welcome authors from marginalized groups so we can all use our platforms to uplift them with marketing that has no barrier to entry. <3
A form asking for more specifics about your book to be included will be sent in advance of the next book blast so you can decide if it works with your promotional schedule to participate. (Please limit to one submission per pen name!)
The form will ask for:
- book name
- series name
- author pen name
- clean purchase link for the book (Amazon, UBL, or direct store links all welcome)
- up to 7 keywords (e.g. magic tea, baby dragons, sweet romance, fantasy of manners)
- how high of heat the series gets: low / no heat, medium, or high heat
- whether it is Amazon-only or wide
- a short pitch for your book, maximum 300 characters (CHARACTERS, not words!). This is about 2 sentences.
We hope you can join us!
If we’re between book blasts or you can’t participate in the current one but would like to be notified about future opportunities, fill out this form!
