Tips for selling fiction ebooks
- Use the first chapter or two as the free preview — fiction sells on voice and hooks.
- Put the genre, subgenre and series position in the title or first line, such as 'Book 1 of a cozy mystery series'.
- Offer a box set option alongside single books so new readers can buy the whole series in one go.
- Include content notes if your story deals with heavy themes; many readers appreciate them.
- Use share links and QR codes at readings, conventions and in your author newsletter.

Questions about selling fiction ebooks
Can I sell fiction I also sell on other platforms?
That depends on any exclusivity agreements you have elsewhere. If you have not signed one, you can generally sell your own eBook in more than one place — check your existing contracts.
How should I price a fiction eBook series?
Many authors price the first book lower to attract new readers and offer a bundle for the full series. You set your own prices on MultiVendor Market.
Should I give away a whole book to attract readers?
Some authors offer the first book in a series as a low-priced entry point, while others share a long free preview. On MultiVendor Market the free preview lets readers sample chapters without you giving the full book away.
