Give the Gift of a Story, Holiday Enrollment 2026

Enroll your book in Give the Gift of a Story, the HOV Publishing holiday gift guide for 2026.

Your book will be listed in the digital flip book gift guide on hovpub.com with your cover, your description, and a tap to buy button with QR code. The guide itself is announced nationally through a press release distributed by EIN Presswire to AP News, the USA TODAY Network, and hundreds of news outlets and book bloggers.

Choose your enrollment:

HOV Publishing Author, $75: for authors published under the HOV imprint.
Self-Publishing Partner or Outside Author, $99: enroll with your own buy link (KDP, your personal website, wherever your book is sold and you want to direct traffic). Your listing sends readers straight to your link.

Share and Sell storefront setup is available separately at $49 for the holidays (regularly $99). We set up your storefront under the HOV publisher account: your own buy link, a QR code, and an embed code you can use anywhere. Selling through your own direct link skips the retail discount entirely, so you keep more of everything. Orders are fulfilled by our distribution partners and ship direct to the reader, and royalties pay out quarterly. The fee is HOV's own fee for setup, administration, and management of your storefront. Available to HOV Publishing authors, and to independent authors whose book is not under Amazon KDP or another distributor arrangement that blocks a direct storefront.

Enrollment includes: your featured buy link; a shareable social graphic for your book, made for the season; one dedicated spotlight post about your book on HOV Publishing social channels; your book in the holiday email to the HOV reader family; a 30 minute one-on-one vision session with Germaine; a private enrollees-only live session with Germaine on StreamYard, including how to build out your intellectual property and turn your one story into additional revenue streams; and a future Morning Brew segment for your book, scheduled with our production coordinator.

The first 10 authors to enroll are our Founding Ten, with priority placement in the guide on a feature page. Enrollment is confirmed by payment, in the order payments are received. Only 30 author slots.

Your enrollment fee works twice: every dollar of it applies as a credit toward any additional HOV Publishing services you choose later. Credit is good for six months.

Enrollment closes Friday, November 6. The guide goes live Monday, November 16. Christmas order cutoff is December 15.

After checkout, complete the short intake form linked on the enrollment page so we can build your listing. Releasing during the season? You can still enroll; your listing runs as a pre-order until your release day.
