CoverSwipe for Authors & Publishers
Put Your Cover in Front of Readers
CoverSwipe is a cover-first book discovery experience from Proxima Emporium. Each edition introduces readers to a curated group of books and gives them an easy way to discover the stories behind the covers that catch their attention.
Authors and publishers can submit individual titles for consideration in upcoming CoverSwipe editions.
How Author Participation Works
CoverSwipe editions are built around a limited selection of books so readers can browse without being overwhelmed. Each participating book is presented with its cover, basic book information, a short hook, and a Tell Me More link supplied by the author or publisher.
Submitted books are scheduled according to edition availability and genre fit. Submission does not guarantee placement in the next available edition.
Submission Guidelines
One Book at a Time
Please submit each book individually using the form below. This helps us keep the cover, description, author information, destination link, and permissions associated with the correct title.
Multiple Books Are Welcome
Authors may submit more than one title, but each book should be submitted separately. Multiple books from the same author will normally be scheduled across different CoverSwipe editions over time rather than appearing together in the same edition.
Edition Scheduling
CoverSwipe schedules accepted books based on available space and the mix of genres being assembled for each edition. A book may therefore be held for a later edition where it is a stronger fit.
Reader Destination
You choose where the Tell Me More button sends readers. This can be an author website, publisher page, book information page, bookseller listing, or another appropriate destination for the title.
Cover Image Requirements
Recommended Size
Submit a front-cover image at approximately 500 × 750 pixels using a 2:3 portrait aspect ratio.
File Size
Cover files should be no larger than 512 KB.
Accepted Formats
JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WEBP files are accepted.
Use the Front Cover
Submit the book's standard front cover without promotional banners, review graphics, pricing stickers, or other temporary overlays whenever possible.
What We Need for Your Book
Book Information
Provide the book title, author name, genre, and any applicable series information exactly as you would like readers to see it.
CoverSwipe Hook
Provide a short 20–35 word hook that gives readers a compelling reason to learn more about the book.
Tell Me More Link
Supply a direct URL where interested readers can learn more about the book. Make sure the page is publicly accessible and remains current.
Permissions
You must have the right to submit the cover and book information and authorize Proxima Emporium LLC to use those materials to present and promote the book through CoverSwipe.
A Note About Scheduling
CoverSwipe is designed to give every participating title room to be noticed. For that reason, accepted submissions are not simply placed in the order received.
We consider available edition space, genre balance, and overall edition fit when scheduling books. If you submit several titles, we will generally spread those books across future editions so readers are introduced to a broader variety of authors and books in each CoverSwipe.
There is no need to submit your entire catalog at once. You are welcome to submit books one at a time as you decide which titles you would like considered for CoverSwipe.
Before You Submit
Submission Is Not Placement
Submission allows Proxima Emporium to review the title for CoverSwipe. Placement is subject to acceptance and edition availability.
No Guaranteed Results
CoverSwipe provides promotional exposure and book discovery opportunities. Participation does not guarantee clicks, sales, reviews, rankings, or other specific results.
Keep Information Accurate
Please check your title, author name, cover image, hook, and destination URL carefully before submitting.
