What promotion on BookGather looks like

Homepage Feature

Your photo, name, and bio pinned at the top of "Meet Our Authors" on the homepage, marked Featured.

Newsletter Mentions

Your book in our reader newsletter, which goes to readers who signed up to hear about authors and book events.

Priority Discovery (Author Pro)

Pro authors rank ahead of free authors with similar activity in the author directory, so readers browsing for events find you sooner.

Event Pages

Every book signing you list gets its own page that local readers can find and book. Listing events is always free.

Questions

When does my feature go live?

If you are signed in to your author account when you check out, your homepage and directory placement switches on as soon as payment clears. If not, reply to your confirmation email with your author page link and we set it up within 24 hours. Newsletter mentions and event promotion are done by hand, and we email you as each one goes out.

Can I cancel Author Pro anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. You keep access until the end of the billing period.

What kind of authors does BookGather serve?

All genres and all levels — from debut indie authors to traditionally published authors with upcoming events. We focus on authors who do in-person events.

I just published my first book — is this right for me?

It can be. The Spotlight is built for authors building a first audience. BookGather is a growing community, so treat it as one steady source of readers alongside your own launch, not a launch on its own.
