OZtober 99c Promo - Seeking Listings
« on: September 23, 2018, 12:38:33 PM »

Re-posting this from kb, in case anyone here didn't see it then - it's an Australian-focused promo event


Hi! For those of you unfamiliar with me, my name is Ashley Capes and I’m a poet, novelist and teacher from Australia.

I’d like to showcase the work of Australian writers of speculative fiction, via the classic method of ‘author cross-promotion’, so I’m opening a call for expressions of interest/submission of listings.



If you were to jump on board you’d be responsible for the usual stuff at your end: dropping the price of one of your books to 99c (from October 19th - 21st) AND sharing the promo’s landing page with your social media followers and/or your mailing list - the more eyes we get on the page the better, of course.

For my part, I’ll co-ordinate, collect info, verify prices, get custom graphics and host the promo.

I’d love for this to stand out amongst the many promos out there, especially with its focus on Australian titles, so if you know any other SF writers from Australia who might be interested, please feel free to pass this on to them. Thanks for listening!

If you think you can be part of the promo, please visit the google-form to add your details:

Below is the 2017 landing/promo page, which is basically the place you'd be directing your readership to:

Thanks for reading

Ashley

********(Please note, if you cannot temporarily lower the price of one of your books, please feel free to submit a listing for the 'showcase' side of the promo which is for new releases/pre-orders or just a great book!)********

(also, one book per human)

Might be worth posting to the SF/F Cross Promo group, if you haven't already?

Ace idea, Simon - though I'm not on FB anymore, but I think Patty was going to post the call in one of the groups she's part of, I wonder if it's the same one by chance?

Had my 4 year anniversary of leaving FB a couple of months back actually and this is exactly the time/kind of circumstance I definitely miss it

Just doing a quick dumb, now that we've got a lot of new members post the forum move, any Australian writers wanting to list for this promo?

We're back!

After taking 2019 off, I'm re-launching the OZtober promo :)  This time, it'll run Oct 23-25th and be accepting free and 99c titles.


https://storyoriginapp.com/bundles/9b37ed12-e056-11ea-91bf-1f3761816d82/info


However, instead of me hosting and building the landing page on my siteetc, we're going to use Story Origin - it's free and easy enough to use, plus it reduces my workload - so if you're keen or know anyone who'd like to get on board, please direct them to this link!

I was going to duplicate this post in the 'Australian' thread but I'll just bump it a final time here, instead I reckon.


As I said before, if you are interested or know someone who'd like to get involved please visit/direct 'em to the link above :)
