Welcome to Our Indie Author Central Romance Hub
The Indie Author Central Romance Hub is our dedicated, one-day romance event hosted within the Hive—designed to bring together a curated selection of indie romance books, authors, and readers in a single, high-intent promotion.
Taking place for one day only in Autumn 2026, this event is built to mirror the demand behind popular Stuff Your Kindle-style promotions, and our own, while maintaining the quality, structure, and visibility standards the Hive is known for.
AUTHORS CAN SIGN UP HERE SOON
What is the Indie Author Central Romance Hub?
The Indie Author Central Romance Hub is a focused, genre-specific event space created exclusively for romance authors and readers.
Unlike broader multi-genre events, this is a romance-only space, allowing readers to easily browse and discover things like:
Contemporary romance
Dark romance
Paranormal and fantasy romance
Romantic suspense
Small-town, enemies-to-lovers, and more
All in one place, for a limited time.
How it works
For one day only, readers will be able to explore a curated selection of free and discounted romance books, all featured within the Indie Author Central Romance Hub.
This creates a high-intent browsing experience, where:
Readers are actively looking for new romance books
Authors benefit from concentrated visibility
Competition is controlled through limited entries
By keeping the event short and focused, we maximise attention and engagement across every book featured.
For readers
If you’re searching for your next romance read, the Indie Author Central Romance Hub offers a streamlined way to discover new authors, trending tropes, and hidden gems across the indie romance space.
Whether you’re looking for something sweet, spicy, dark, or emotional, this event brings together a wide range of romance titles in one place—available for a limited time only. This page will turn into the event space, full of romance books for you to peruse when the event is live. One to two weeks prior, we will have the event books available for you to browse and add to your TBR, so that you do not have to rush during the event.
For authors
The Indie Author Central Romance Hub is designed for indie romance authors looking to:
Promote a book during a limited sale window
Reach an engaged audience of romance readers
Take part in a focused, high-visibility event
All submissions are reviewed to ensure a consistent level of quality across the event, helping maintain strong reader engagement and better overall performance.
Why a one-day event?
Short-form events create urgency.
By limiting the Indie Author Central Romance Hub to a single day, we encourage:
Higher reader engagement
Faster decision-making
Increased visibility per book
This ensures the event remains impactful, rather than diluted across multiple days.
