  • When is the last day to join the May 9th MilSpouse Author Stuff Your Kindle Day event?
    April 9th will be the final day we accept submissions or when our Author cap of 75 authors is met, whichever comes first.
  • How do I set my e-book to free for the MilSpouse Author Stuff Your Kindle Day event?
    Some trusted sites allow authors to change e-book prices within your author portal. Some sites, such as Amazon, require a bit more time to adjust. Regardless of your e-book being enrolled in a program, such as Kindle Unlimited, you can still set your e-book to free for a day or price match. Click on the Amazon button below to be directed to their page. Select "Price Matching" under the "Pricing" tab if your e-book is not in Kindle Unlimited or "Deals and Promotions" under the "KDP Select" tab if your e-book is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. Please note: If you need to price match your e-book to make it free, the easiest method is to enroll your e-book on Google Play books and set that price to free universally. This process may take up to nine days for your account to be verified and an extra few days for Amazon to price match. Please set aside a couple of weeks to arrange this so you won't scramble when the event approaches. You can price match to trusted sites, such as Barnes and Noble, but be aware that some sites do not have universal capacities, and Amazon will only price match to the US site (not international sites).
