Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can growing my email list really boost my sales?
YES. Your email list is the biggest factor in your book sales and repeat customers/sales. For every book release, send the info to your email list as soon as it's out. Successful authors swear by their email list!
2. How can I trust the quality of the emails from the giveaways?
We use targeted Facebook ads to attract readers who enjoy the specific genres in each giveaway. Our goal is to provide you with a solid list of readers who are interested in your genre.
3. Will readers unsubscribe from list?
There are always some who unsubscribe, but we have found the majority of the readers stick around. And then it is up to you to provide an engaging newsletter that keeps them interested in you and your books.
4. How will readers get my book?
When you sign up for a giveaway, you include an epub file of your book. When the giveaway is over, we take care of the book transfer to the three winners. The book is added to their CraveBooks reader dashboard and not through an email. This keeps your file secure.
5. How soon will I receive my new reader emails?
Authors are given two weeks to sign up for a giveaway. Then we reach out to readers for 2 weeks (3 weeks for our Mega giveaways). Once those two weeks are over, the reader emails are added to your author dashboard. The longest you'll have to wait if you sign up on the first day is 4 weeks.
6. Who can participate in the giveaways?
Any author with a full length novel in the genre being featured. Each giveaway is for a specific genre or theme. If your book isn't in the genre listed above please check back. We add new giveaways each week.
