      How to nominate a title for free promotions

      Step 1: Go to ‘Promotions’ in your dashboard by first logging in.

      Step 2: Step 2: Click on ‘Featuring' under 'Advanced promotions'.

      Step 3: From the list of available featuring opportunities, choose the one that fits your title the most.

      Step 4: Select your book from the dropdown list and add a short description for our merchandising team to let them know why you think your book should be highlighted in this promotion.

      Step 5: Click 'Send featuring request' and you're done! Our merchandisers will check your submission and if it fits all the requirements, they will forward it to Written Word Media. Please note that we have no influence over which titles WWM ends up selecting, they will choose what they think interests their follower base the most. We will only inform those who are selected, so if you receive no notification within a few weeks, it unfortunately means your book was not included in the newsletter this time.

      PublishDrive is working together with Written Word Media to ensure you get the most help in self-publishing, ultimately for indie success.
