Just yesterday we did some post-vacation catching up and brought our Kindle Nation Sponsorship Results spreadsheet up to date. It’s fun to crunch the numbers and see the awesome power of the greatest readers in the world, but it’s also a lot of fun to get up close and personal with individual authors’ experiences. So we’ll be adding such posts here when we get a chance, and there’s probably no better place to start than with what is currently the #2 book overall in the Kindle Store!

Darcie Chan,
THE MILL RIVER RECLUSE

Jumped from #247 to #41 overall in the Kindle Store with her first sponsorship in July 2011, from #6 to #4 with her second in September, and from #4 to #1 just last week! That’s right, #1 overall in the Kindle Store!

All three sponsorships brought her into the top 20 on the Kindle Movers & Shakers list. Has it been fun?

“Fun, yes…also completely unexpected, shocking, and surreal!  And, Kindle Nation has certainly given me some huge boosts along the way — thank you!!  I’m not sure where this is headed, but I’m trying to enjoy it while it lasts!”

–Darcie Chan

By the way, if you have yet to read THE MILL RIVER RECLUSE, it’s time — and well worth it — to spend the 99 cents!

While many of our sponsorship programs are booked until early 2012, we do have plenty of November and December availability for our relatively new Special Sponsored Post option:

For authors and publishers wanting to make a special announcement to our readers, this option allows a post of up to 500 words on the afternoon of the sponsored post date. Your special sponsored post will be seen on our website, will also be sent wirelessly to over 5,000 paid subscribers’ Kindles, and we’ll mention the post three times on our Facebook page (which has over 28,000 fans) over the course of three afternoons. Full text must be submitted by the sponsor for our review and approval upon sign-up and will be edited by Kindle Nation to conform with our style, tone, and – where applicable – editorial views. Post will be identified as a “sponsored post.” Posts may contain up to 6 linked titles in the Kindle Store (or other links subject to our approval), and may contain up to two small graphic images such as book covers or author photos.

Once you’ve signed up, just send us an email with a brief description of how you would like to use your Special Sponsored Post and the ideal date or dates you would like to schedule. We’ll need a draft of your post within 48 hours after you sign up.
Booked about a month in advance.
