About BookSparker
BookSparker is a web-based book marketing platform for indie and self-published authors. It brings audience-building and book-promotion tools together, including a genre- and list-size-matched newsletter swap marketplace, group promotions, reader-magnet and advance-review-copy delivery, sign-up landing pages, author websites, and universal links to booksellers. Authors can upload reader-magnet files for delivery in common ebook formats, collect subscribers, and connect supported email services such as MailerLite, Kit, and EmailOctopus. Free-plan features include limited monthly swaps, a landing page, email collection, and reader-magnet delivery. Paid plans add direct ebook sales through the author's Stripe account without a BookSparker commission. The platform is intended to help authors organize promotional activity and build relationships with readers.
