Reader FAQ

Q. What is the Cozy the Day Away Sale?

It’s a one-day sale that happens a couple of times a year, specifically for the cozy fantasy genre.

Q. Is it just cozy fantasy books?

It’s cozy fantasy and cozy fantasy “adjacent”. Content warnings will be your best guide to determine what’s comfortable for reading.

Q. What are the sale dates for 2026?

The dates are:

  • May 8th 
  • October 3rd-4th (a 2-day event to coincide with HearthCon)

Q. Is this the same as Stuff Your Kindle?

Not really. Stuff Your Kindle has a few limitations. 1) it is for Kindle Unlimited books only on Amazon and 2) it is only for the romance genre. Cozy the Day Away is for ebooks, paperback books, hardcover books, AND audiobooks. Authors may list their books outside of Amazon, opening up all kinds of distributors, including the library! Lastly, while the books aren’t free, they are deeply discounted! We even have a “$1.00 or free” category for the bargain hunters. 🙂

Q. I can see the books have many diversity categories, but what is the author diversity category?

We recognize that readers often like to support authors of a certain representation, but this is the author’s choice to share or not. If an author has checked that they have diversity, this could be any of the following categories:

  • Physical disability rep
  • Mental disability rep
  • LGTBQIA+/Gender/Sexual diversity rep    
  • Global Majority rep    
  • Neurodiverse rep    
  • Religious diversity rep
  • Cultural rep
  • Body positivity

For the sake of authors’ privacy and safety, they do not have to specify which of the above representation they may be, only that they fall into one of these categories. This way the author’s privacy is safeguarded but the readers who seek diversity can find what they are looking for.

Q. AI-generated content is on the rise. What are the policies and values of this event as it relates to computer-generated text and images?

(January 2026) “The Cozy the Day Away values, as it pertains to AI and the intersection with books participating in the sale, is as follows:

  1. Cozy the Day Away does not allow AI-generated OR pirated long-form written content, whether that’s books, novellas, short stories, scripts, or screenplays. 
  1. Cozy the Day Away does not allow AI-generated imagery for book covers, character art, maps, page edging, interior formatting images such as chapter art, bonus material, or back-jacket book descriptions.
  2. Cozy the Day Away does acknowledge that when creating marketing materials such as videos or still images, we will do our best to research original artists and credit them for their photography, designs, memes, songs, illustrations, paintings, and other such art, but also acknowledge that some AI-generated imagery may still slip into these posts.”

Q. Okay, I’m interested. How do I get notified about a sale before it happens?

Subscribe to the newsletter in the pop-up at the top and you’ll be sent two reminders: 1 month and 3 days prior to a sale date.

Q. What if I don’t want to sign up for the newsletter?

That’s totally your choice, but then you’ll have to remember the dates on your own. 🙂

Q. How do I access the list of participating authors on the sale date?

On a sale date, the list of participating authors will be made public on www.cozyfantasysale.promisepress.org that date at midnight CDT. They will be sorted by subcategory and author diversity. There are also categories for book format and books that are listed for under $1.00.

Q. Can I share the sale with others?

Of course! We highly encourage using the hashtag #cozythedayaway to show off your amazing bounty.

Q. This looks like a ton of hard work by a staff of just a few humans in late-stage capitalism by someone who is running 3 businesses and only stays afloat with cinnamon rolls and strong black tea, how can I support the Cozy Sale team?
