NEW FEATURES + DARK MODE PROCESS BELOW
I've been hard at work to develop a filterable Masterlist, a beautiful Top Reads list, responsive Author Pages AND Influencer Pages, and an automated, easy sign-up process for Authors and Influencers!​
On Desktops, you can use the floating menu to the right of this page to navigate through each upcoming feature. On mobile, you'll have to scroll down.

You can expand all previews to full screen if needed.

Thank you for your love and support, and I hope you're excited about Dark Mode SYK Winter 2024!

The Dark Mode Process
Author Sign-Ups went live in the Authors Only Facebook Group and are now closed until 2025.
Masterlist finalized. Sent to Influencers for early access/top picks vote in our Influencers Only Facebook Group.
Top Reads List curated. Official Date Announcement sent to all RSVP'd readers (our email list on Substack).
Masterlist and Top Reads List go live a minimum of 3 weeks before the official date to allow readers to decide what they want to download before the event launches.
The event date arrives and all books go live to download on Amazon!
Filterable Masterlist
This whole event began because 900 readers said YES to being able to filter their Stuff Your Kindle finds specific to dark fiction. Now there's over 104,000 of you RSVP'd, which absolutely blew away every expectation I had!
It was my goal to provide you with the ability to, for example, select your spice level, favorite tropes, representation, subgenres, AND have results show for them. I'm super pumped to say I've made it happen on both Desktop and Mobile!
Every Book Has Its Unique Page
Available on Desktop AND Mobile. Every author in the event will have their own landing page that will help give readers a quick glance at the book. Our first event had this, but this time I made it cleaner with a simple toggle/tab box to quickly go between all the tags on that specific book.
​
I also built in an "Author Note" section, where authors can say hi or even tell readers if they have additional promos going on for the event (for example, some will be notifying you in their author note if the rest of their series has also been discounted)!
Influencer Profiles Are Coming!
Available on Desktop AND Mobile. Every Influencer who helps to curate the Top Reads List will have their own profile up on the website. Just like the book Masterlist, readers can filter Influencers by genre to then click into their profiles and see their Top Picks. Influencers will have their own pages, just like the books, so they can very easily direct readers to their personal choices on social media.
The Top Reads List
Available on Desktop AND Mobile. After all Influencers submit their Top 6 Picks of all the books on the Masterlist, I will tally them and add the books with the most votes to this curated list! Just imagine those blank black spaces are books <3
​
There was a Top Reads List for the first event, too, and I know so many of you appreciated having this 'launch pad' of where to start downloading. Our Top Reads authors also saw a mega boost in their book downloads, so thank you again for supporting indie!
