Our Story

HotZippy was built to connect readers with great deals and help authors reach the audiences who love their books. What started as a simple idea—sharing curated free and discounted eBooks—grew into a network of genre-focused sites and newsletters serving readers every day.

Over the years, we’ve focused on one thing: making book promotion easy, affordable, and effective for independent authors and publishers—while keeping the experience enjoyable and trustworthy for readers.

How It Started

We began by highlighting bargain and free eBook discoveries and quickly learned that readers respond best to focused, genre-specific recommendations. That insight shaped the HotZippy approach: curated listings, clear details, and promotions that reach the right audience at the right time.

Growing Into a Network

As our audience expanded, HotZippy evolved into a family of promotional sites and newsletters covering multiple genres. This made it possible for authors to promote widely—or target a specific fan base—depending on their goals.

Today

Today, HotZippy continues to support authors with a streamlined scheduling process, quality checks, and dependable newsletter delivery. We’re always improving our tools and experience so promotions stay simple, fair, and effective.
