message 51: by Originwriter (new)

Originwriter | 18 comments Thank you! I think I'm almost all updated. Please keep them coming. Here are a couple of the latest:
http://tomtey.com/ravenstoke/
http://tomtey.com/buying-murder/
http://tomtey.com/immortal-beloved/

For authors who have multiple titles, for know I think I'm just going to post two maximum per author. This is just to save some space on the site for other works.

Thank you everyone!

You can follow Tomtey at twitter.com/TomteyBooks. I only tweet a couple times a day about the new additions. If you want me to tweet about your book specifically, just let me know. You can message me here or on Twitter. Thanks!

Originwriter | 18 comments One quick update:

I've been mulling over how to organize the covers. One additional feature is pagination. Now, only 36 covers can be on one page. This will help with load time.

To determine which covers will appear on the front page, I've implemented a voting system! It's kind of like Digg or Reddit. You can vote for your cover or any other cover you like and those will be the ones that appear on the front page. I had to require registration to limit voting to one person per book. So you can vote for as many books as you want (including your own!), but can only vote once per book. I'll update the order of covers every 24 hours.

I wrote a quick blog post about it here: http://tomtey.com/blog/

And you can register here: http://tomtey.com/login/?action=register

Thanks!

message 57: by Karina (new)

Karina Kantas Hi.

I sent in one of my covers via your page, ( not to be greedy)
but you need to add thriller to your list of genres.

Thanks

Originwriter | 18 comments Thanks everyone! I'm working on adding cover art right now and should be updated by tonight.

Just to be clear about how to vote, you have to go to the individual book page. You get to the book by clicking on the cover art image on the front page. Once you're on the book page, you should see a green checkmark button beneath the title and above the social sharing buttons. You click this button to vote. You must be logged in to vote.

For example, on http://tomtey.com/somebody-tell-aunt-... there is a green checkmark near the top of the page under the title "Somebody Tell Aunt Tillie She’s Dead".

Voting will be important as more covers are added because it will determine which covers appear on the first page.

Thanks!

P.S. Karina, I'll add a thrillers section tonight. Good idea!

E. Milan (EMilan) | 34 comments This sounds great, I would love to be included.

Here is my website,

www.emilanfiction.com for the cover art.


message 84: by Originwriter (new)

Originwriter | 18 comments Thanks! I think I've got something from everyone now. Check it out: http://tomtey.com/

You may notice the two subscription books at the top. This is a new way to promote your work for free! It's explained here http://tomtey.com/2012/03/08/new-subs... and here http://tomtey.com/write/.

I put up an sample page and a new edition of a book I wrote as an example. One of the benefits of promoting your book as a subscription book is that it will appear at the top! I think it's a good way to promote your book whether it is a completed work or a work in progress. As always, everything is completely free. The portions of your book will be distributed in whatever file format you choose. You can also limit the maximum number of subscribers.

You can submit your book as a subscription book or continue to submit your cover art with links like we've been doing. Your choice!
You can submit at http://tomtey.com/write/.

Either way, please keep them coming!
