- This is an event only for books in non-fiction category.

Instructions:
- This promotion will be posted on August 17th
- Select the time slot - it's all the same time slot and I have it set up to take 10000 submissions so... If it fills up, I will be very happy.
- Fill out the form!
- The form asks for 5 retailer links. You don't need to provide 5! If you just want to provide one universal book link, that's fine. If you want to link to every serial site your web novel is on, that's fine! If you only want to link to Itch, Amazon, and Kobo, that's also fine! Also fine if you just want to link to your direct store. It's up to you!
- Please provide a link to somewhere I can download your cover. I like to display the cover as part of the listing and it makes it much easier if you provide a link. This can be from a cloud storage drive, an image sharing site like snap.as or even the link to the image on your own website! Thanks!
- Please use separate submissions for each of your books!
AI policy:
The use of large language models is prohibited for all works promoted on QBW. The use of other technologies that use the "AI" marketing label but do not create content for you is allowed, such as speech-to-text assistive technologies that have been around for decades but use AI as a marketing label, features in Photoshop or affinity that algorithmically make changes to the photo such as filters, cloning, or color swapping, etc, grammar and spelling checker features which have been around for years before LLMs became publicly available, etc. We recognize that there are many technologies, apps, and programs that many have been using since well before Chatgpt and Midjourney that aren't in anyway similar to those but decided they needed to add "AI" to their name. We don't get it either but 🤷
