Black Friday Anti-Sale Participant Details

Which books/ authors can participate?
Direct Sales: I like the idea of doing this on Itchio, as Itch will display the regular price and signal that prices have been marked up. But if you sell directly by other means; eg. on Payhip, KoFi, your website, etc; feel free to put your regular price up by $1 for the sale, participate, then mark them down. Bookshop.org: if you distribute via D2D but don't sell direct, you're welcome to promote your anti-sale on Bookshop.org. As a store that shares its profits with brick and mortar indie stores, its perfectly on brand for this sale. Note: participating this way will likely require you to increase your price on all stores, so you aren't underselling
Will there be a sale landing page?
I will at least publish a general description of the sale on my author website, fleshed out by people's responses on this form. If I find time and spoons to list author names linked to their stores on that page (or to do so by genre); I will.
Sale Bingo Card
I will be making a bingo card for the sale, to function like a digital equivalent of a stamp trail at a bookfair; a fun way to encourage people to browse books and pay attention to authors during the sale. Again, info below will help and there's a box for people to suggest book/ author traits for the bingo card.

I do not use gen ai for writing, covers, audio narration, book promo content etc.

A

1. Are (or do) you, the author; (All of these options are likely to appear on the sale bingo card.)

2. Are any of your books... (I'll mention the main genres in the sale in my website description, and may include less common genres on the bingo card.)

Do you have any suggestions for bingo card content?

3. Are your books library-requestable?

A
B
C

4. How many books will you have on sale?

5. How many series will you have on sale (including trilogies)?

6. Please paste your Itchio AND OR Bookshop.org store link

If you'd like me to email you the sale bingo graphic and sale description link when they're ready, please enter your email address. (I'll post both on Bsky and on the #MarketingAndGroupSales channel of my Writers and Authors Discord, so you may see them that way.)
