Wide & Direct Author Promos

Welcome to the Wide & Direct Author Promo page! We have lots of promos to help your books and audiobooks get seen. Please note that all of these promos require you to have a newsletter and to share in your newsletter. Each promo will also be shared on the various Substacks and social media platforms I run to ensure maximum exposure!
A promo landing page will be created and emailed to you before each promo begins. You will be supplied with graphics, marketing text and a link to the promo landing page. Let's sell some books together!🙌

--USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Hefner

These promos allow human-written books with human-designed covers and human-narration only. No AI of any kind will be accepted. Thank you.
