FindANewBook.com (FANB) is a human curated classifieds for books by authors and presses to submit to and be promoted. Originally founded in 2019 by Brick Cave Media owner and publisher Bob Nelson, the site has transitioned a few times over the ensuing years, becoming what it is today.
How do I, as a reader, use FANB?
Explore. Use the search function, or just browse through the categories. New listings are added twice a month, and shared out to social media channels. The best part- there is no membership, no monthly fees, no commitments. If you find something you like, that's cool, click it and you can buy it from the author from wherever THEY want you to buy it from.
How do I, an an author, use FANB?
It's pretty straight ahead. You can list your books for sale, via the submission form, located here. Submissions last 90 days and we update new listings weekly.
- YOU get to choose where the visitor buys the book, be it from your website, Amazon or anywhere else. You give us the link, and we submit it for you.
- There is no commission. Prospective buyers are passed through to the purchase destination of your choice. FANB does not offer ecommerce options.
The Importance of Your Description
Just as we tell readers they can FIND books in search, we encourage authors to really THINK about their descriptions, and maximize the characters given. Include the important keywords to your sub genre as well as keywords you think readers would use to search for your book. The easier it is to be found, the more likely it is to be bought.
We Don't Track Data
We only collect visitor or author data related to visit to the website (Matomo & Google Analytics), and we do not market to anyone that has not opted in, so your can be sure that you are not being followed (at least not by us).
Smart Search
You can use the smart search function at the top of the page to find the books you really want. We rebuild the index weekly (when we release new listings), so you should always find the books that fit your taste in any genre.
You can also use the subgenre tags placed on each listing to find other listings in similar subgenres.
Add-On Services for Authors
While not necessary, the add-on opportunities for a listing can give your book an even bigger boost. Running a banner ad concurrently with your listing on the Proxima Banner Network makes your book part of the 100,000+ impressions the network provideas easch month. And that number only gets bigger as the network gets larger.
