FOSSPRESS

Creator Program

For creators whose audience the featured title was written for

FossPress is a small independent UK publisher: an author-first launchpad for books in any genre. When we feature a title, this program is how it reaches the readers it was written for, through people those readers already trust. Membership is standing: a creator who joins for one title, and whose post lands, gets first call on every future one.

What you get

Three free paperbacks of the featured title. One is for you, your family or your class to actually read. Two are for you to give away to your audience, run however you like.

A half-price code for your audience. It works on our own shop, so your followers get a genuine saving on the featured title, and you can honestly say the deal exists because of you.

Your own tracked link. You see exactly what your post did rather than guessing, and so do we. Performance is how we decide who gets first call on the next title.

A digital kit. Cover art, sample pages and background on the book, ready to use in your post.

What we ask

One honest post, in your own words. No script, no draft approval, no obligation to be positive. If the book is not for you, say so or say nothing; both are genuinely fine.
Run the giveaway your way. Timing, format and how you pick winners are yours.
If you are happy to, follow or mention our own pages. It helps the next title reach you and your readers faster. Appreciated, never required.
Label the gifted copies. UK advertising guidance asks creators to disclose gifted products (for example #ad or #gift). We prefer it that way; honesty is the whole point.

What it costs

Nothing, in either direction. We never charge creators to take part, and this program never pays for posts or coverage. If a separate paid collaboration ever makes sense for both sides, that is its own conversation with its own written terms.

Currently featured
