Book Pre-Order Incentives

With all the amazing book pre-order incentives out there, we decided to try and round up as many as we could in on place so you don’t miss out! This is not an official listing by any means.


For the purposes of this page, a pre-order incentive/giveaway is defined as any opportunity to receive merchandise/swag/additional content in exchange for pre-ordering a book. On this page you will find:

CURRENT INCENTIVES

Current pre-order incentives and giveaways for unreleased books. An official pre-order incentive OR giveaway has been announced for a specific book

ANTICIPATED INCENTIVES

Books with potential pre-order incentives. The author has posted that there will be one that hasn’t been officially announced yet, says to “save your receipts,” etc.

If there is a pre-order incentive happening (OR anticipated) for a book that’s NOT listed, click here and let us know!

Purchase links are included as they become available. Not every title is available on every platform.

Last updated January 27, 2021

If you submitted an incentive after this date, please do not submit it again. This page is manually updated by the NovelKnight team. We will get to it as soon as we can!

2021 Book Releases


Due to the size of this page, books are organized in tabs below by release month. Please check the appropriate release month before submitting a new incentive. Thank you.

Incentives will not include photos of swag as the page takes too long to load. Please check out the Incentive Details for photos.

Click on the tabs below to view each month’s book releases with pre-order incentives. Please note that these lists may be incomplete as this is an unofficial round-up.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is a library option?

Some incentives allow you to submit proof of requesting the book at your local library as a way to get the incentive swag rather than buying the book. If a book has this option, you will see a YES next to that text along with what swag is available for this option. Please make sure to check out the “Click here for full incentive details” link for additional information.


Are these incentives ONLY available to United States residents?

NOPE! Each incentive is dependent on the author/publisher hosting it but I include any that have been submitted to the site on this page! Some incentives don’t list country restrictions so you will see “Unknown” listed under that incentive. If you know what the limits are for a particular incentive please let me know and I’ll fix the entry!


What genres/age groups do you include on this page?

All genres and all age groups! If it’s a book and has either a pre-order incentive or pre-order giveaway, I’m happy to add it!


Does the incentive have to be hosted by a publisher?

Absolutely NOT! If you’re an author who is hosting your own pre-order incentive (regardless of whether you’re traditionally published or indie), I’m happy to add it here! You can email me or submit it through the form at the bottom of the page. The only thing I ask is that your book is listed on Goodreads so interested readers can add the book to their shelves.

Submit a Pre-Order Incentive/Giveaway

Have you heard of an incentive that isn’t listed? Let me know!

Please include a link to where you can find more information about the pre-order incentive whether it’s a link from Twitter, a page on an author’s website, etc.

This is NOT a form to send in your pre-order receipts. Please refer to the specific detail links for each book. Do NOT send in personal information through this form.
