Authors Who Want to Share Their Success

The following promotion success stories are with authors selected for Written Word Media promotions. PublishDrive has a partnership with Written Word Media. This means authors can send us a featuring request for their title, and we’ll send it to Written Word Media, or we can pick titles from our distribution network (the book has to be on at least one of these sellers: Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Play Books, Amazon) and send them to be featured on one of their websites: Freebooksy, Bargain Booksy, Red Feather Romance, or NewInBooks.
