Ebook promo sites by genre
Start with sites that actually want your kind of book. Romance readers and thriller readers aren't the same crowd, and a fantasy site won't do much for a memoir.
The table shows how many promo sites cover each genre. A bigger number means more sites say they take that genre, or say they'll take anything. It isn't a ranking of which genre sells. Click a genre when you want just those sites in front of you.
Sites that never mention a genre aren't on this page. They're still in the full directory if you want to ask them yourself. A letter on a card is an Indies Today grade, not a score from us. Prices change, so check the site before you pay.
How to choose
- Start with your genre in the table and open that list.
- If your genre is thin, look at sites that take every genre. They count in every row.
- Read the genres on the card before you book a niche site.
- If your genre isn't in the table, search the full directory and ask the site. A missing row isn't a rejection.

Questions
- Why aren't all the sites here?
- Some never say which genres they cover. They're still on the home page.
- Does all genres mean they push every category equally?
- It means they'll take your book, whatever the genre. It doesn't say which category they feature most.
- Which genre has the most sites?
- The table is the answer. The biggest number is the one with the most sites today.
- What if I don't see my genre?
- Search the full directory, then check with the site. They may still take it.
