Stuff With Fantasy!

Stuff Your Kindle Fantasy Event

For Authors

What is Stuff With Fantasy / Stuff Your Kindle Event?

It's an opportunity for authors to collaborate and give readers FREE or discounted books! And for authors to expand their readership. It's a win win for both readers and authors.

During this event, authors band together to promote each other's books. With everyone's books on this site, and thousands of reader eyes on them, authors often come away with thousands of downloads, additional sales on their sequels, newsletter sign ups, and reviews! None of this is guaranteed. To increase chances of success, we recommend doing market research for titles, professional covers, and catchy blurbs.

When do authors begin promoting this event?

Author joining this event are REQUIRED to promote it! However, the requirement doesn't come until the day of the event.

Promotions can come in the form of social media posts, newsletter mentions, or both. Preferrably both. The main method of promotion you choose will be requested in the signup form so we can ensure you're doing your part as a contributor to this event. Mention the website URL, that there are free books, including yours, and you could also mention other books similar in vein. Such as "witch books" or "vampire books."

Example of a good promo:

If you'd like to promote before the day of the event, please use verbage such as "mark your calendars" with the date so it's clear to readers that the books will be free, but aren't free yet.

Example of before day of the event promo:

How To Set Your Book To FREE

If you've published through D2D, you can view the steps here. We recommend setting the dates a couple days before the event, just in case.

D2D Promotional Price Tool Step by Step:
Select Book Title you wish to use → Takes you to the view book page, scroll down slightly to "Ebook Details" section and click in your "new price" box to change the price → On the drop down check the bubble that says "I want to run this price for a specific period of time." and click "Switch to promotional price tool" → This will pull up a calendar and allow you to change your ebooks price to FREE for a specific amount of time. We recommend setting it to FREE a few days in advance to be safe and give yourself time for it to reflect on Amazon because you WILL have to ask Amazon to price match once it shows as free elsewhere. Don't forget to CLICK on Promotional Territorial Prices and set your ebook to free by checking all the territory boxes as well. Your readers outside the US will thank you.

To set your book to FREE through KDP, you have to set your book to free on all available vendors first, and then email Amazon with several links. Email Amazon through their customer service portal here. Select "Pricing" and then "Price Matching" in the dropdown. Request a price match and be sure to add links to your other vendors to prove that the book is available free elsewhere. We recommend doing this several days in advance as Amazon isn't obligated to change the price. If they don't do it, try again with more links.

To set your book to FREE through KDP Select, follow Amazon's directions here. Amazon limits the number of free days (5 days out of the 90 day enrollment period), so be sure you have slots available.

Please note: KU sets books to free at midnight PST. At this time, admins will go through books to make sure every book is set appropriately to free. If a book isn't, the book will be removed from the website and the author will be blocked from participating in future events.

Using a "clean" link

Use a clean link when submitting to this event. AND a direct link to the book. NO SERIES PAGES! Otherwise, your submission will be deleted. We're busy and we don't have time to reach out and rectify submimissions. If you submit a link that doesn't comply with what we expect, we'll simply remove the submission and you'll have to submit again.

Which platforms can I use?

Creating Marketing Materials For This Event

We recommend using the free version of Canva. There are templates you can use. Authors will also share materials they've created that you're welcome to use as well. We will do our best to contribute.

We've chosen to use the font Yana for our branding (Adobe Fonts). You may use this font if you'd like for your own creatives, or you can use something else. We don't care. If you do use Yana, play around with the glyphs! They're a lot of fun!
