Robin Reads reviews each submission and, if accepted, places a free or $0.99 ebook on its homepage and in a genre email for one day, invoicing only after acceptance. It reports about 194,000 subscribers in total, with genre lists of roughly 50,000 to 130,000, and requires 90 days between promotions of the same book. You must set the discount at every retailer yourself, and since October 2025 its placements are also sold through Written Word Media.
