Tomorrow, March 1, is the beginning of Read an Ebook Week, a week that encourages readers to pick up the digital device of their choice and download a new book to read.
I’m excited to announce that all my books will be available as part of a promotion on Smashwords to celebrate Read an Ebook Week!
All my single title books will be marked 25% off. (With one exception – With the Colonel’s Help will be free during the sales week, and $0.99 for the rest of the month)
All my boxsets will be marked 50% off.
This is a chance to add to your Leenie book collection, as well as pick up some books from other great authors, at a discount so you can get right to reading.
If you wouldn’t mind taking part in promoting this celebration of Ebooks and reading, please feel free to share this promo with your friends and family.
Kobo is running a Buy One, Get One Free romance event until February 28 in the US, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.
Two of my books got selected to be part of it, so I didn’t want you to miss out on this chance to add them to your Kobo library.
You can find the promotion page on Kobo at this link: https://bit.ly/KoboBogo You may need to click once more after the page opens to be redirected to your regional Kobo store if you’re not in Canada. (I am in Canada, which is why I have the link for the Canadian store 😉 )
My books are listed in the category labelled “Sweet nothings and so much more.”
That’s it for today. Just a quick announcement.
Have a great weekend!
<3 Leenie
PS. I have some other book promotions going on this month. You can find all the current ones (including these) on the Current Book Promotions page.
I have a short post/email for you today, but an important one.
In February, part of my book promotions are focusing on two mailing list builder opportunities.
The first one is a multi-author giveaway of JAFF books which is being hosted by Amanda Kai.
In this giveaway, there are 18 prizes to be won — 17 individual eBook prizes and 1 grand-prize that includes all 17 eBooks!
So head on over to the giveaway page that Amanda has set up, browse the list of books included in the giveaway, and click the sign up button.
Please be aware that by entering the contest, you are giving your permission to receive emails from all the authors who are part of this giveaway. So, don’t be surprised after it concludes if you get some welcome emails from these authors. As always, you can unsubscribe from any of the authors at any time.
The second mailing list builder that I’m doing will be later this month when I will be making one of my books free for a short time for anyone who joins one of my reader groups (Substack, Patreon, or Blog). But don’t worry. If you’re already a reader group subscriber in any of those places, I’ll make sure you have a chance to get the book, too.
For now, just enter that giveaway (if you want to), and I’ll email about that free book right before Valentine’s Day. 🙂
I got a surprise when I went to upload a new book to ElevenReader a couple of weeks ago. The normal option to offer the book for free and get paid $1.10 per qualified listen (11 minutes) was gone.
In it’s place was the option to offer my book for free without any payment, sell it, or place it in the soon to be released subscription program where I can get paid $0.20 per hour listened to.
Wow. What a shift! And I didn’t know it was coming. Maybe I missed the communication about that — it’s VERY possible.
So here’s what you might want to know:
Yes, I am still going to offer my books on ElevenReader even if the payout is a fraction of what it was. It’s going to take a very long time to get all my books produced into audiobooks, so this will make books available to those who prefer or need audiobooks much more quickly.
This change is coming in February. The switch is supposed to take place on the 14th. That means if you want to listen to any of my stories for free, you’ve got a couple of weeks to do so. After that, all books currently enrolled in the previous author payment scheme of $1.10 per qualified listen will roll over into the subscription.
Subscriptions are $11/month or $99/year.
They also have an option for authors to sell access to their books, and it looks like this might become available to me as an option to have my books both enrolled in the subscription and offered for sale. But, it won’t let me do that yet. (Yes, I tried. LOL I like options.)
And I just added the rest of my Nature’s Fury and Delights novelettes this week, so there are new book options there. (I’m up to 47 titles there.)
Until February 13 or 14, I can still earn $1.10 per qualified listen.
You can find all my books on ElevenReader @ https://bit.ly/Leenie-11R (or scan the QR code in the graphic above).
Good Monday to you all. This is my update on all things Book Promotions for the month of December. I’ll keep this short and to the point since I have a Saturday Broadsheet coming out this weekend, where I can share other things.
This month, I am focusing some of my marketing and promotional efforts on my Choices series. This series begins with one choice made by Mr. Bennet to force a marriage between his Lizzy and Mr. Darcy, and just tapping the first domino in a string of them set up to fall, this one choice leads to more struggles and happily ever afters down the line.
Her Father’s Choice is the first book in the series and is the free read on Patreon. This means you only have to follow me for free there to be able to read the book.
It is also one of the two downloads this month for Patreon subscribers. (Subscriptions start at $2 USD/ $3 CAD per month.) The second download for subscribers this month is Enticing Miss Darcy which is a sequel to one of last month’s downloads (Becoming Entangled).
As always, my full catalogue of books is available to be read on Patreon for subscribers, so you could read the full Choices series there this month.
Her Heart’s Choice is book four in this series and is my $0.99 book for the month of December. It is $0.99 everywhere EXCEPT Smashwords where it is FREE. This is because all my books are included in the End of Year Sale over there and reduced by 50%. Smashwords has a policy that pricing for books starts at $0.99, so any book that falls below that threshold becomes free.
There is just one more promotion that my books are involved in that I wanted to let you know about. If your library uses CloudLibrary, they are having a sale this month, and all my books are reduced 30% for the month of December. (As you can see, all my Annilee Books are also part of this sale.)
That’s it for now. I currently do not have any plans for any more sales before the year is out – unless some idea strikes me and I just “have to” do it. 🙂
I’ll be back on Saturday with my monthly broadsheet. Until then, have a great week, and happy reading!
