Honey Lit Author Assistant 2021 Wrap Up!


Hello there!

It's been an exciting year at Honey Lit in 2021. We've done so many amazing new things and have connected with so many authors and readers!

We launched our first promotions. There were a total of 4 newsletter builders, 1 Bookbub builder, and 2 book fairs. We also launched premade covers, started two Facebook groups (one for authors and one for readers), and began two newsletters (one for authors and one for readers).

This is only the beginning! Next year will have more newsletter builders, book fairs, and premade covers.

We look forward to spending more time with all of you!


Thank you for a great year!

Sign-Ups for "Fabulous February Freebies" Hosted by Honey Lit Author Assistant


As Valentine's Day approaches,
let's give readers something wonderful:
a bunch of FREE books!

Honey Lit Author Assistant is hosting the Fabulous February Freebies: a multi-genre book fair for FREE books. The goal is to put together as many books as possible to provide readers with lots of great reads to choose from.

You can submit any book you like within the following genres: romance, paranormal, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, thriller, suspense, or any combination thereof. (For example: paranormal romance, romantic suspense, etc.)


What does the book fair entail?

This promotion will run from February 10th to 14th (Thursday to Monday). By running the promotion for five days, it allows those in Kindle Unlimited to utilize free days for the book(s) they submit. This is also good for any permafree books, especially those that are series starters. There will also be a giveaway in conjunction with the book fair, amount to be determined.

Please note: This promotion is NOT for reader magnets (a free book given away to sign up for a newsletter). Your book must be available on retailers whether it is Amazon only or all retailers.


What are the requirements to participate?

The cost to participate is $3 per book -OR- 4 books for $10, with a maximum of 4 books.

Honey Lit will promote your book on our website, in our reader newsletter, as well as tweet your book out during the week of promotion with your Twitter handle. There may also be a giveaway if there are enough participants!

All authors are required to promote the book fair on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) at least once on either February 10th or 11th (the first or second day of the promo). Please feel free to promote as much as you'd like beyond that. The more eyes on the book fair, the more downloads there will be!

Your book must be free between February 10th to 14th. Any book that is not free at the time of posting on Thursday, February 10th at 9:00 AM EST will be removed from the promotion. For those who are utilizing your KU free days, we strongly suggest that you make sure to set your book to free starting on Thursday, February 10th. For those who aren't using a permafree book and are wide, we suggest getting it set up as soon as possible if it isn't already. Many authors have been having trouble getting Amazon to price match free books as quickly as they used to.


How do you sign up?

It's easy peasy, lemon squeezy! Fill out this form with your information and I will provide you with all of the graphics and details to include when sharing the giveaway.

Sign ups will close on February 1st. Payment must be received by February 1st. All participants will be contacted by February 4th with everything needed for sharing.

If you have any further questions regarding the book fair, please contact me at honeylitauthorassistant@gmail.com and I will reply within 48 hours.



*Please note that Honey Lit cannot guarantee how many books will be downloaded/purchased from you.*
*Honey Lit will distribute the fees between covering the administrative costs of setting up the event, the giveaway prize, and promoting it.*
