Author Application for Blog Feature
  • Author Application for Blog Feature

    Apply to be featured in our blog and social media. Prepare your book details and blog post for review.
  • Open Kimono Publishing is now accepting applications for a limited number of sponsored featured review placements.

    This is a curated editorial sponsorship opportunity designed for authors seeking meaningful exposure through professionally written literary coverage and social media promotion. Because editorial space is intentionally limited, not every submission will be accepted.

    Featured sponsorships are published exclusively on Wednesdays and Sundays to maximize visibility, reader engagement, and promotional reach.

    Accepted books receive:

    • A professionally written full-length blog feature and review focused entirely on your book
    • Permanent placement on Open Kimono Publishing
    • Promotion across our official social media platforms:
      • Facebook
        Instagram
        X (Twitter)


    Open Kimono Publishing reaches a rapidly expanding international readership, generating more than 30,000 unique visitors and over 33,000 monthly pageviews, with traffic growth exceeding 2,000% year-over-year. Our audience consists of active readers, collectors, reviewers, and engaged literary consumers searching for new books and authors to discover.

    This is not an automated advertising program or guaranteed paid listing platform. Positive book reviews are also not guaranteed; we provide an honest review. Every application is reviewed individually to maintain quality, audience alignment, and editorial standards. We prioritize books with compelling concepts, strong presentation, marketability, and genuine reader appeal.

    Only selected applicants will move forward.

    If approved, authors will receive a email with sponsorship invoice for the $250 featured placement package.

    Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Due to limited editorial availability, spaces fill quickly.
