Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to list a book?
Nothing. Listing your book in the BookDiscovery is 100% free. We will never charge a listing fee and we will never ask for a credit card.
Who is eligible to list a book?
Any author — self-published, independently published, or traditionally published — is welcome to create a free author account and submit their book. We accept every genre: fiction, non-fiction, self-help, memoir, business, poetry, and more.
How do books qualify for the Top 10 list?
Authors who post a publicly accessible backlink to BookDiscovery from their own website, blog, or social profile — and submit it through their dashboard — become eligible to be featured in the Top 10.
What about the Top 50 list?
The Top 50 works the same way as the Top 10 — authors with a verified backlink are eligible to be featured.
What counts as a qualifying backlink?
A qualifying backlink is a publicly accessible page on your website, blog, podcast show notes, or social profile that links to sales-101.ca/directory or clearly mentions the BookDiscovery. The page must not require a login to view. Spam or low-quality links do not qualify.
Can I offer a discount coupon for my book?
Yes. When you submit or edit your listing, you can optionally add a coupon code and redemption URL. You can choose to show the code openly to all readers, or make it email-gated — meaning the reader must enter their email address to reveal the code.
Do I need a reader account to browse?
No. The entire directory is free to browse without any account. Reader accounts are optional — they allow you to save books and get notified about new additions.
How do I contact the directory team?
You can reach us by email at sales101.books@gmail.com. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
Can a listing be removed?
Yes. We reserve the right to remove any listing that violates our Terms of Use — including adult content, inaccurate information, or books that do not meet our content standards. Authors can also voluntarily unpublish or delete their own listings at any time through their dashboard.
