Market Your Book On ebonyfly.com
be seen, where it matters


it's all about exposure

We understand that promoting your new book can be a daunting task. With the never ending flood of new authors, and new books by established authors,
book promotions can be costly and difficult especially on a limited budget.

In the competitive world of self-publishing, authors need a way to reach out to a national audience fast. While they are able to secure distribution deals, at least some are, and can handle some local marketing on their own, many lack the knowledge, finance, and marketing experience to effectively introduce themselves on the national stage.

Ebonyfly.com spotlights the rising stars of African-American literature. We also profile some of the more established authors of the genre. We offer authors and publishers of African-American literature the opportunity to reach a national audience of targeted readers. We maintain and cultivate a community of active readers of "black" literature. We are the channel to the targeted audience of avid readers that every author wishes to reach. Through ebonyfly.com, an author can differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack. And with an increasing number of new authors appearing on the scene, differentiation is becoming more important than ever.

Ebonyfly.com has a number of services geared towards promoting African-American authors and their novels. Even more, our services are relatively inexpensive and effective.

what we offer

  • Banner marketing for maximum exposure. Ebonyfly.com has one of the braodest advertising networks for African-American literature. In total we maintain longterm advertising relationships with over 20 websites targeted to African-American readers. Since we buy our advertising in bulk and for a long period of time we realize discounts that a single author or publisher will not be able to receive. For this reason we are able to offer authors and publishers the opportunity of advertising on all the sites in our network for a fraction of the cost. The advantages of using the ebonyfly.com ad network are:

    • Advertise for a fraction of what it would cost you if you went directly to each site.
    • Advertise across multiple sites at once, including ebonyfly.com, thereby greatly increasing your exposure.

    Please send us an email for further details about banner advertising on ebonyfly.com.


  • Postage inserts work. Ebonyfly.com processes hundreds of orders per week and with each order we mail out we also provide authors the opportunity to include a bookmark or one leaf insert (2 pages). Inserts are a very effective and cost efficient way of promoting your new or upcoming novel.
    Please send us an email for further details about postage inserts.
