“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”
Winter is quickly approaching, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay (mentally) cooped up inside for months on end if you have a stack of good books!
SOOP is pleased to announce its free Book Giveaway Program! Every month we’ll be doing a drawing and selecting a winner to receive a free book in the genre of his or her choice. How do you enter this free book giveaway drawing? All you need to do is vote for one of the Book Ideas, Short Story Ideas, or Anthology Ideas on our site. You can enter our free book giveaway drawing multiple times by voting for several different Ideas.
Below you’ll find a list of thirty of our Top Ideas. Pick a couple that you like and vote. You could be a winner to start the New Year!

This Month At A Glance
Boasting three curated anthologies on this past month’s TOP 30, SOOP’s Anthology Program is growing exponentially. Accounting for more than half of the ideas on the list, SOOP Anthology Program Story Ideas provide an avenue for authors to access new and varied audiences.

How do I Make the Top 30?
The Top 30 is our monthly culmination of the Hot 20 lists. By formulating the number of votes a Story Idea or Book Idea receives and how quickly the Story Idea or Book Idea received those votes, along with a few more details from the past month, we are able to determine the order and placement of the Top 30. There are a few ways to help you make it on both lists.
For DIY authors, SOOP hosts Marketing Monday, a series of posts chock full of tips and tricks for boosting your audience from the ground. For those looking for interactive help, SOOP offers several packages designed to help with your Marketing Plan. Take a minute and check them out. Plus, the Service Marketplace connects you with people who can help with your Product, Platform, and Promotion.
We Want to Work With You
Everyone at SOOP will help you work toward your success. When you submit your Book Idea, you can choose one of two ways to reach your publishing goal: Free or Premium Levels. At each stage of the voting process, SOOP’s Free Level assigns homework, which helps you not only make substantial progress in marketing your work, but also helps you develop the best book possible. SOOP manages your homework in phases and returns your homework on a pass/fail basis.
SOOP’s Premium Level also assigns homework with a required 85% passing grade, ensuring you understand the curriculum before proceeding. In addition to a higher standard for your homework, our panel of experts provides personalized feedback, arming you with more information and allowing you to adjust course when necessary.
For more information on the Free and Premium Levels, please read the FAQ, including information on costs. And also feel free to contact us with questions.
Our Services Marketplace offers proofreading, editing, reviewing, and publishing for your manuscripts. If you reach 2,000 valid votes via our author-driven model, you can even earn Services Marketplace offerings free of charge. Submit your book idea here, and regardless of the level you choose, you can build your audience and anticipate orders from the participants who voted for your Book Idea(s).
