Romantasy book promotion
One romantasy word a day. On your day, the answer is your book, and every reader who solves it sees your cover and your buy link.
Your book as a word game reveal for a day
Featured authors
Authors share their day with their own readers. Kalie Cassidy posted hers the week she hit the New York Times list, and Heba Al-Wasity, the first author Booky ever featured, did the same. That is the half that reaches your readers rather than only mine.
“I am OBSESSED with the game Booky (wordle for romantasy readers!)”
Heba Al-Wasity, author of Weavingshaw, in the story she posted
Pricing
Launch pack
$199
Three days you can spread across release week, with a different word each day. Works out $38 cheaper than booking them one at a time.
Pay $199Book at least three weeks ahead. You pay up front, then I check your book out and within 7 business days either lock in your date or pass and refund you in full. Changed your mind? Full refund up to 7 days before your day.
Open days
Click a day and it takes you straight to checkout, $79, where you pick that date from the list. Only the days below are in the list, so you can’t accidentally book one I can’t give you. If it goes while you’re deciding, I’ll move you to the closest open day and tell you before anything runs.
Want three days for the $199 launch pack? Pick your three in the date box there.
These dates have passed. Email me at hello@90books.com and I’ll send you the next open ones.
How it works
It’s a normal book promo booking: you pick a date, you pay, I check the book, it runs on your day, you get a report. The only unusual part is what happens on the day. Instead of your book going out in a newsletter, it’s the answer to a puzzle.
Pick your date
Pick one of the open days above, or choose from the same list at checkout, at least three weeks out. That’s what it takes to check the book, pick your word and get your graphic to you before you need to post it. If the day’s already taken I’ll come back with the closest open one.
Pay
$79 for a day, or $199 for the 3-day launch pack. Checkout asks for your book and the date you want, and that’s the whole purchase. Your cover and buy link I can find myself. There’s a box for word ideas if you have a favourite, but it’s optional and nothing waits on it.
I check the book and pick the word, within 7 business days
I look at the blurb, the reviews and how it’s being talked about, then pick the 5-letter word your day runs on. Choosing it is my job, not yours: it has to be a real, guessable word that fits the puzzle, and a bad one makes for a bad day of the game. Then I either approve your book and lock in your date, or I pass and refund you in full. Most promo sites take your money and run the slot; I’d rather say no than put a book in front of readers who won’t want it.
You get your graphic to post
Once your book is approved, I email you the finished card, the one further down this page, at least three days before your feature day. That’s yours to schedule: Stories, Reels, TikTok, your newsletter, your street team. If your day is far out you also get the teaser version so you can post the day before.
Your day runs, then you get the numbers
Your book’s word is the puzzle all day, and everyone who finishes meets your book. Within a couple of days after, I email your report: how many played, how many clicked through to buy, with screenshots.
What you get
The graphic
Once your book is approved, I email you a finished card, sized for Stories and TikTok, at least three days before your feature day so you have time to schedule it. Your cover, your title, your name, and the link printed on the graphic itself, so it still works when someone screenshots it or reshares it without the sticker. You don’t design anything and you don’t brief anyone.
The link is printed on the card, not just attached as a story sticker, so it survives a screenshot and a reshare.
Who plays
About 144 romantasy readers play every single day, and I can show you that in PostHog. Every one of them sees the day’s book. It’s a small audience, I know. But there are no bots and nothing padded, and they’re exactly the readers you write for.
The honest part
I can’t promise you sales. Nobody in book promo honestly can, and I’d be wary of anyone who says otherwise. What I can promise is the feature, the graphic, and a straight report of what actually happened. Booky only works as long as readers trust that every book belongs there, so I do say no sometimes. That’s what the review is for. Paying isn’t the same as being approved, and I’d genuinely rather give your money back than run a book my readers won’t love. Paid days are always labeled in the game.
Good to know
$79 for one feature day, or $199 for a 3-day launch pack you can spread across release week. That’s the whole price. No setup fee, no cut of your sales, and I won’t come back at you with an upsell.
Romantasy, and romance with a good fantasy thread running through it. Booky’s readers turn up for that one genre, so a book outside it won’t get featured no matter what it pays. I check every book within 7 business days and refund you in full if it isn’t a fit.
About 144 romantasy readers start a game every day, and everyone who finishes sees your cover, your name and your Amazon link. That includes the ones who don’t get it, because the book is revealed either way. Your book is the answer to the puzzle, so it isn’t something anyone scrolls past.
Most book marketing services put your cover in a list next to forty others and hope someone scrolls. Here your book is the answer to the puzzle, so nobody scrolls past it, and afterwards you get a real report instead of silence. It also costs $79 rather than a few hundred.
That’s most of who books it. Indie and small press authors are the whole point, and your book sits on the same shelf as the traditionally published ones. I don’t care who published it, only whether my readers will want it.
A newsletter blast asks readers to skim an email. Booky asks them to play, and your book is the reveal at the end of the puzzle they just solved. You also keep the shareable graphic, a permanent spot on the Booky Library shelf, and a mention in the reader newsletter.
Once your book is approved I email you the finished card, at least three days before your feature day. Nothing to design and nothing to brief: post it to Stories, Reels or TikTok, send it to your newsletter or your street team. The link is printed on the card, so people can get to the game even from a screenshot.
At least three weeks. That covers checking your book, picking the word, and getting your graphic to you a few days before you post it. If your release is sooner than that, email me anyway and I’ll tell you honestly whether I can fit you in.
Yes, as long as there’s an open day to move to. Release dates slip, I know. Email me as early as you can and I’ll find you the closest open slot. If nothing works, you get a credit for a later day or a full refund, whichever you prefer.
Yes, up to 7 days before your feature day. If I check your book out and pass on it, you get a full refund automatically, whenever that happens. If you change your mind yourself, email me at least 7 days out and I’ll refund you in full, no reason needed. Inside that last week I can’t, because the work is already done: your word is locked into the queue, your graphic has been made, and your book has its page on the Booky Library shelf. Most tour companies are stricter than this. R&R refunds half and only up to four weeks out, and several publish no author cancellation policy at all.
No, and I’d be careful with anyone in book promo who says they can. What you get is the feature, the graphic, and an honest report of how many readers played and how many clicked through.
Only so many open days a month.
