What sets our Giveaways apart?
1. We fulfill your eBook for you.
There’s no back and forth with the giveaway winner trying to coordinate getting their eBook to them. We do this for you! Plus, you get an extra book sale courtesy of the Written Word Media team.
2. We connect you with engaged readers who are genuinely interested in your content.
Unlike other list-building services that might provide authors with more email addresses (mostly of disengaged subscribers who never open emails or unsubscribe immediately), we prioritize quality over quantity.
3. You’ll have access to your new subscribers much faster.
Instead of only sharing your new readers’ email addresses with you at the end of the giveaway, we share them with you halfway through the giveaway so you can get them onto your email list quickly. By engaging with your new subscribers sooner, they are more likely to engage with your emails and become invested in what you have to share!
What do our Giveaways look like?
Our Giveaway pages are custom-designed per genre to attract readers wanting to sign up for your mailing list & win your book
We design and run paid social ads on Facebook & Instagram to continuously bring new readers to the Giveaway page

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Subscriber Surge Giveaway?
Subscriber Surge Giveaways are a cost-effective way for authors to build their email list and connect with readers who want to connect with new authors.
Our Giveaways give readers the opportunity to win eBooks in a specific genre along with a free Kindle eReader by signing up for author email newsletters. The Giveaways last for 60 days.
Readers flock to enter the giveaway which boosts your book’s exposure and connects you with a qualified audience that loves the genre you write in.
The more readers on your email list, the more chances you have to sell new releases, ask for reviews, find ARC readers, and more!
What are the benefits of buying a Giveaway through Written Word Media?
Unlike other eBook giveaways, Written Word Media does all the operational work associated with giveaways which other sites require authors to do on their own.
We will handle the fulfillment of your eBook to the giveaway winner so you aren’t having to facilitate this yourself.
Plus, instead of only sharing your new readers’ email addresses with you at the end of the giveaway, we share them with you halfway through the giveaway so you can get them onto your email list quickly. This gives you the opportunity to begin connecting with your new subscribers immediately so you can keep their interest peaked from the get-go.
How soon will I know if my book has been accepted for a Giveaway?
Once you’ve purchased your slot in a Giveaway, you will immediately receive a confirmation email from us with your receipt of payment and a summary of your promotion. Our editorial team reviews all books submitted for giveaways within 72 hours.
If for any reason we find it does not meet our criteria, we will contact you and refund your purchase within 5 business days.
If you are unsure of the status of your giveaway, you can email our editorial team to check the status of your book.
What are Giveaways editorial guidelines?
You must have a Written Word Media Member Account in order to purchase a Subscriber Surge Giveaway. Creating a Free Account takes 30 seconds.
Your eBook must match the genre of the Giveaway in order to be included. For example, your Fantasy eBook can’t be included in a Paranormal Romance giveaway.
At this time, only eBooks can be featured in Giveaways and paperback & hardcover versions are not eligible for inclusion.
Books must be priced between $0.99-$14.99 to be included in a giveaway and must be at least 50 pages in length.
To help keep giveaways fresh and exciting for readers, your eBook can only be included in a Giveaway once every 60 days.
How much do Subscriber Surge Giveaways cost?
Inclusion in our Giveaways costs $75. This price covers the ads we run to the giveaway to attract quality readers, the cost of your eBook we’ll purchase to gift to the winner, and the price of the Kindle eReader the winner receives.
What if I need to make changes to my Giveaway?
If you need to pull your eBook from a giveaway or swap in a different book in the same genre, you can do so by emailing us at least 5 days before the giveaway is scheduled to begin.
What is the refund policy?
If you’re unhappy with the results of your Giveaway, please let us know within 30 days of the giveaway ending. We’ll be happy to discuss a refund, promo credit, or inclusion in another giveaway.
Can I include a non-US eBook in my Giveaways?
Only US eBooks can be included in Giveaways. We promote these giveaways to a US audience only, so your book must be available on the US Amazon store.
How long do Subscriber Surge Giveaways last?
Subscriber Surge Giveaways run for 60 days. At the end of the Giveaway, we’ll choose one reader at random to win the 10-20 eBooks and Kindle eReader. You’ll receive an email mid-Giveaway and at the end with a link to download your .csv list of readers.
When will I see a Giveaway in my Genre?
We release new Subscriber Surge Giveaways monthly. If you don’t see a Giveaway in your genre right now, check back in 1-2 weeks to see our new genres! You can also request your genre by sending us a message.
