Summary
Written Word Media sells one-day placements in its own genre newsletters: Freebooksy for free ebooks, Bargain Booksy for ebooks priced $0.99 to $5, Red Feather Romance for romance, and NewInBooks for recent full-price releases. It also sells multi-site Promo Stacks, managed Facebook and Amazon ad campaigns, and an annual Gold or Platinum membership that takes 10% off promos. It does not guarantee sales or rank, and since October 2025 it also books Robin Reads placements, so several "different" promo sites in a stack may share one seller.
