Scott Zavoda (ScottZavoda) | 34 comments I need 10-15 authors who want to get in on a BLACK FRIDAY Social Media Sale. The Facebook and Blogging event will go on all day. The idea is to provide one or more of your books at discounted price the entire day and expose your work to new fan circles. Each author involved will be posting his / her own work and also the other participating author works on their social media sites at predetermined intervals throughout the day. So say if authors Bob, Judy, Mike, Blake Crouch (HA!) and Chris were involved, I would post each of their works separately and at a predetermined time during Black Friday. Each author would do the same but not necessarily in the same order. Here are more specifics:

• Minimum of 5 authors needed to participate. The max is around 20. I’m looking for high quality writing and I will hold the right to accept or deny who be part of this.

•Accepting the following Genres: Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Suspense, Short stories of the same, Speculative, Science Fiction, Fantasy. (No romance or children’s books. Young adult may be okay.)

•Everybody involved pre-writes an related to their book, or books they’d like to showcase.

•You must reduce the price at least 50% during the day of the sale.

•During the day each participating author will showcase other works with one post (including their own) spaced at pre determined intervals.

•The showcase will be timed differently for each participant meaning your book might be posted on one authors FB or blog page in the morning and then in the evening on another authors page.

•Every participant will email their ad and accompanying cover photo to me and I will disperse them to all the other participants for the Black Friday showcase.

•It will probably work best to pre-schedule all the posts.

•Each author at his/her discretion may offer other incentives on their FB / Blog page that day including a free copy of their book if a reader LIKES their page or SIGNS UP for their mailing list. This info should be included in your ad.


So who’s in? Let me know what book(s) you’re planning to include by a link to your book here. Once we have an established group, I will PM everybody with my email and more details. This is a great opportunity for all of us to expose our works to other reading circles. Who’d say no to FREE MARKETING!

I don't think Amazon can be precise enough to discount for one day as I am not of KDP Select. However I can discount fairly accurately on most of my channels and make sure it is there on Amazon for Black Friday.
As you can see you will get two contributing authors from Bent Banana Books.
Cheers
Bernie
