We have taken more time to declare the results this time, and we apologise for the inconvenience. However, the reason behind that is our ongoing 😊
An unexpected response on the same has caused the delay.

We are very well aware we mentioned 5 winners for the 500 word story challenge, however, we had to be stricter with the rules this time. Hence, only three winners.
We request you all to read the rules and follow them, because there is no other pain bigger than not featuring good content in our literary ensemble. Yes, it is painful

From the time Authoropod was conceived and came into action, book marketing and promotion has been the core reason.
We have been doing that already for last 3+ years now. To make it more intentional and focused, we are bringing paid marketing plans for authors who find it right to do paid promotions. So, unlike those gazillion messages you as authors receive in your DMs which have fix set of services to offer, we curate an exclusive plan for you which absolutely aligns with your requirements.

Our founder has seen both the ends of spectrums and she knows how much authors earn. So, rest assured, the prices will be reasonably fair. If you don't find our quotes fine, you may select individual service like an "A la carte" or even call it off instead of bargaining for the prices.

Also, all the services listed in your plan will be legit sources and NO big jazzy names.

The growth and results will be organic which will be sustainable in long run rather than bringing you 2 mins fame. You will have to be patient with us once you sign up for this journey.

To explore this opportunity further, you may DM us.
