Sun Chara says
Thanks so much! Kate! for posting this list! It’s great!
Kate Tilton says
You’re welcome Sun! I’m glad you found the list helpful.
Sarah Ryan says
I have used a lot of these websites thanks for sharing the list. You may also want to add Pretty-hot.com as they also do free book submisions
Kate Tilton says
My pleasure Sarah! Thanks for recommending Pretty-Hot.com, I’ve updated the list to include them. 🙂
Antara Man says
Great list Kate, I come for the second time here. I would only ask, can you write next to the sites if a length is required. For example eReadears News Today requires for fiction at least 145 pages but for non-fiction and children books – it doesn’t apply,
Kate Tilton says
Thank you Antara, I am glad the list has been helpful for you. As each site will have requirements that differ I have opted not to list those as it is important to check with each site on their requirements as they may change. I include notes where price or extra steps are involved so those that are looking to go through the list quickly can skip over those.
Lori Bell says
Free submission form PLUS some extra free perks, thanks 🙂
Kate Tilton says

Hi Shawn,

Hi Andy,
So honored you bookmarked this list. I hope it helps!
I took a look at BookRix and it seems they publish books, so that doesn’t quite work for the list but thanks for mentioning them to me.
