What is My LesFic?
My LesFic was created by Harper Bliss and Caroline Manchoulas of Ladylit Publishing. Because lesbian fiction was either left out of other newsletter services or inconveniently lumped together with gay fiction, they decided to create their own mailing list service, solely catering to lesbian fiction readers and writers. In mid-2019, Harper and Caroline passed My LesFic on to Anne Hagan and Erin Hodgson, who seek to continue providing fantastic deals for readers and authors alike. Readers can join the My Lesfic mailing list at MyLesFic.com

How much does it cost?
You can find our pricing page here >>
What if my submission gets rejected?
While we would love to include every book, My LesFic does reserve the right to reject any book for any reason. If your listing isn’t selected this time and you’d like to resubmit your book for consideration in the future, please wait at least 1 month before reapplying.
How can I increase my chances of being accepted?
Carefully follow these submission guidelines >>
Can I run the same book again?
Yes, but only every 90 days.
Do you accept new releases?
Yes, just tick the New Release box in the submission form. We accept discounted new release books at all times, and run one to two full-priced new release promotion slots weekly.
What happens if I’m not able to discount my book on the day the listing goes out?
If your book is not at the agreed price at a certain retailer, we will only list those retailers where the deal is available. If your book price is not at the agreed price at any of the retailers that day, the listing will not be included in the My LesFic email. In these circumstances, we are unable to give refunds or reschedule your listing. It’s up to you to make sure the agreed price is already set on retailer sites before we send out promotional emails.
Can I cancel or reschedule a listing?
We are unable to guarantee refunds if you cancel your order less than 7 days before your feature is scheduled to run. If you think you might have a problem with your promotion in advance (eg. retailer issues beyond your control), contact us as soon as possible and we’ll try to find a solution that makes everyone happy.
