📋 Promotion Requirements

1️⃣ Sales Share Average
Participants must have a sales share average of 50 or higher — unless you’re brand new 💕 (we love fresh faces).

2️⃣ Professional Covers Only
Your cover must look professional 🎨✨ (yes, I’ll be the judge of that).
It is subjective, and we may not always agree — but rest assured, you’re awesome either way 😉.

3️⃣ No Erotica
Erotic Romance is welcome 💋📚. However, if the story cannot stand without the sexual content, please refrain from applying.

4️⃣ Platform Standards
All covers must meet the Community Guidelines of the platforms we share through ✅.

5️⃣ Sign-Up Fun (Yes, This Matters 😏)
When signing up, please include:
📚 How your book fits the promotion
🎨 Your favorite color

This lets us know you’ve read everything 👀, care enough to do a great job 💪, and it definitely helps when we’re besties later picking color swatches for our clubhouse 🌈🏡💖.

✨ Important Note
Though not listed above, LGBTQIAP+ stories are ALWAYS welcome 🏳️‍🌈📚❤️.
At Haney Hayes Promotions, we are proudly inclusive and believe the community belongs in every genre — without the need for subdivision.

🚫 POLICY: Generative AI & Trademarks 🚫

No AI. No Exceptions.

At Haney Hayes Promotions (HHP), we proudly pledge to our participants that all services, promotions, and materials are 100% human-created 🙌🖋️.
We do not use — and will not use — generative AI software in any aspect of our work ❌🤖.

🔒 Our Commitment

HHP is dedicated to providing authentic, human-driven promotions built on creativity, integrity, and trust 💯❤️.
We believe human-created work deserves transparent, ethical representation — without compromise.

📂 Participant Submissions

If any submitted media is suspected of containing AI-generated elements, including but not limited to:

🎨 Book covers
🎧 Audiobooks
📚 Manuscripts
📢 Advertisements
🖼️ Character art
📦 Other promotional materials

The participant will be required to provide proof of full usage rights and written confirmation that the media is not AI-generated.

🚷 Until verification is received, participation in HHP promotions will be denied or suspended.

🌎 Our Reasoning

We understand this policy may feel restrictive or even like gatekeeping 🛑. However, HHP stands firmly for ethical clarity, transparency, and respect for creators 🕊️✨.

Until there are clear, lawful, and ethical regulations governing the use of generative AI ⚖️📜, we will not engage with or promote AI-created content in any form.

This policy exists to ensure that all participants are represented with integrity, authenticity, and respect 🤝💎.

📢 Promotion Materials Information

Promotion materials for each event will be sent a few days in advance. Inside the provided folder, you may find some or all of the following:

📝 Plain-text posting materials (pre-written social media captions)
💻 Pre-made HTML blog post
🟦 Square promotional graphics
🟥 Rectangle promotional graphics
🎬 Short promotional videos
🎞️ GIFs (animated graphics for social media)

📣 How HHP Shares Promotions

As part of our promotion process, Haney Hayes Promotions (HHP) will actively promote each campaign throughout the month to help connect as many readers as possible with your amazing books 💕📚.

📍 Where Promotions Are Featured

Promotions may be shared across the following HHP platforms:

📱 HHP Social Media (multiple platforms)

📢 Sharing Guidelines for Promotions

To make the most of each promotion — and to help build your reputation for future opportunities 🌟 — we ask that participants:

💌 Share the promotion with your mailing list at least once
📱 Post about the promotion on social media as often as you’d like

👉 Important: Each pen name included in the promotion will receive its own unique tracking link. Please be sure to share each link separately across your mailing list and social platforms.
BookFunnel tracks these shares, and engagement data may be used to help determine participation priority in future promotions.

💡 Pro Tip for More Clicks: While promotional banners are provided, alternating them with a fellow author’s book cover from the promotion often captures more attention 👀🔥 and encourages higher reader engagement.
