Submission Guidelines

What if my book has mainstream and religious content?

If your book has religious elements, please choose either the Religious and Inspirational or Christian Fiction when submitting a book for promotion, even if it also falls in another genre. Our editors have the option of adding another genre to books, but books with a religious element need to be classified as such. A religious …

Is there a certain length my book must be for retailer promotions?

For our retailer promotions, adult, YA, and teen books, the story itself (not including front and back matter) should be at least 170 pages long. We prefer books that are in the 250-500 page range. We will promote novellas of 100-169 pages if they are discounted to free. These need to be real novellas, not short stories with multiple sample …

Submission Guidelines

Do you promote serials for retailer promotions?

We promote series, but not serials. The difference is that in a series there is some kind of satisfying closure in the novel, even though more novels may be needed to tie every thread. Serials are basically pieces from one novel that have been divided into different segments.

Submission Guidelines

Why can't I have spacing between my paragraphs?

For our retailer promotions, we do not allow extra spacing between paragraphs. Our goal is reader satisfaction, and having a extra space between regular paragraphs (not headings) is not standard formatting, and it can be distracting to many readers.

Preorders,Submission Guidelines

Do you advertise preorders?

No. If you submit a book while it is on pre-order, for a promotion date after it is released, we will wait to review the book until it is released.

Reviews,Submission Guidelines

For retailer promotions, do you accept new releases with no or few reviews?

If you are an author with several other highly rated books with a large number of reviews, we may consider your newer title that doesn't yet have a lot of reviews. However, we must be able to see inside the book, so if we can't, we won't advertise it. We are looking into having an option to advertise brand …

Are there genres you don't accept for retailer promotions? Why?

Book Cave does not feature erotica for our retailer promotions. There are also other genres we don't have yet, and some that are currently combined with others. These will expand in the future to reflect what our readership is looking for. More development is in the works. Note: You can put any book into our …
