What an author feature includes
More useful than a name in a directory.
The aim is to help the right reader understand your work quickly, then give them a clear next step.
A clear place to start
One or more recommended entry points, with genre, mood and story hooks that help readers choose confidently.
Discovery across the site
Accepted books can be considered for relevant homepage shelves, genre filters and editorial discovery features.
Your official destinations
Links can direct readers to your website, retailer page or other agreed destination. The site does not host or sell your book.
Before you apply
Make the submission easy to assess.
A strong application is specific, accurate and written for readers. You do not need a huge following, but your book must be published or have a confirmed release page.
Have these ready
- A professional book cover you can authorise us to display
- A working book, retailer or author website link
- A short description of the book’s audience and appeal
- Accurate genre, tone and content information
What to avoid
- Unpublished concepts with no confirmed release information
- Placeholder, misleading or low-resolution cover artwork
- Claims or review quotes you cannot substantiate
- Submitting work you do not own or represent
The process
Three steps, with no mystery.
-
1

Tell us who you are, where the book can be found and why a particular reader would care.
-
2
Editorial review
The submission is checked for fit, accuracy, presentation and whether it offers readers a useful recommendation.
-
3
Agree the feature
If accepted, we will contact you before publication to confirm the material, links and any terms that apply.
Author application
Tell us what readers should discover.
Start with one book. Keep the pitch concrete and reader-focused; a few strong details are more useful than a long synopsis.
Your contact details stay private.
They are processed by the form provider and used to review the submission and reply to you. Nothing is published without a separate agreement.

Before you press send.
Does applying guarantee a feature?
No. Every submission is reviewed for fit, accuracy and usefulness to readers. If it is accepted, you will be contacted before anything is published.
Do you sell or distribute books?
No. Authors Book Club is a discovery site. Its pages direct readers to the author’s website, a retailer or another agreed destination.
Can I submit more than one book?
Start with the book that gives a new reader the best introduction to your work. You can mention a series or other relevant titles in the final notes field.
Will my email address appear on the website?
No. The contact email in the application is for reviewing the submission and replying to you. It is not published as part of an author feature.
Are retailer links affiliate links?
Some retailer links may be affiliate links. Where applicable, Authors Book Club may earn a commission without changing the price paid by the reader.
