With Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday coming, the big retailers will be bombarding us all with their sales.
While Amazon and KU are the easy way to get books, that’s not always the best way to support authors AND often it’s no longer the cheapest way.
Here are a few suggestions of better ways to get great deals and support your favorite authors.
- Always check your fave’s website to see if they have a direct store.
I know in my store, I ALWAYS price books cheaper than Amazon.
Curios is a new platform that allows authors to keep every penny of their sales (though we have to pay an annual listing fee). They have videos and games and music too!
Check their site and there will be freebies and deals on the homepage! Go HERE!
Kofi is another direct store for authors, artists, and other creators. The Discount Challenge has us give discount codes for items in our stores and share the hashtag to win prizes. Search the hashtag and you’ll find all sorts of cool stuff!
- Check the Kobo Deals page!
Kobo always has some awesome freebies and discounts. Browse HERE.
- Broke? Do a library request!
You can request print books, or ebooks and audiobooks that you can access from Hoopla, Libby, Borrowbox, etc. You get a free read and authors get paid!
