Instructions:
- This promotion will be posted on the December 1st
- 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!

Additionally, I have ADDED a brand new holiday! Yes, I am making one up RIGHT NOW. If they want to erase our holidays, we will just make MORE. So this is the official unveiling of ALREADY OUT DAY. October 25th, two weeks after Coming Out Day. ALREADY OUT DAY is a celebration of another year on HRT and only getting hotter, another year of being in a beautiful queer relationship and only getting stronger, another year with your queer-platonic partner and it’s only getting better, another year out and you’re only getting more stubborn. This day is for people who came out already and are living their best life—proof we survived, proof we will persist.
