IASFA – 2023 Free & 99 Cent promotions

Craig Martelle
November 20, 2022

In 2023, we will have both free and 99-cent books in the same promotion. All free is limiting for many authors where 99 cents opens the door to far greater worlds. For those who aren’t aware, setting a book’s price to free can be challenging because not all book distributors will match that price. But…

Craig Martelle
October 1, 2020

It's about time we do a Fantasy collection – either a story bundle (complete novels, 40k words or more) or an anthology (short stories or novelettes). I'm looking at the biggest Fantasy genres – epic, sword & sorcery, high fantasy, but not urban fantasy (not at this time – I'm running something separate for that with a June release).

James Husum
June 4, 2020

RIAH Publishing is taking submissions for the anthology Grand Theft Unicorn. Ocean’s 11 with ogres and trolls. The Italian Job pulled off using hippogriffs. Good Fellas done with dark fae. Leverage by way of Gandalf and Merlin.

We’re looking for stories of crime with a fantasy twist. Tales can be serious or funny, but need to involve a crime, a fantasy element, and have an unexpected twist to them.
