It’s that time of year again! Black friday.
I love a bargain, and black friday has always been good to me for picking up bargains on subscriptions and tools that help self -publishing easier. Investing in KDP related tools and subscriptions is essential for growth but it’s even better if you can get these tools for a fraction of the normal cost!
I have prepared a list of the best deals below. I will update this list as more deals come in each day, so stay tuned. If you see any deals that may be beneficial to other self publishers, please private message me on Facebook and I will get them added to the list.
Happy shopping!
Black Friday deals 2023
Bookbolt:
BookBolt is offering an early huge discount on their 6-month Pro subscription. The price is $49.99 (usually $119.94). If you want an even bigger discount, you will pay just $39.99 if you use the link below and add the code ‘KDPSECRETS20’ (all caps).
If you have been following me for a while now, you will know that I have used BookBolt for over 4 years and highly recommend it. The Pro subscription (normally $19.99 per month) grants you access to their cover/interior designer, puzzle creation software, and more.
BookBolt rarely offers discounts, so this is an absolute steal, working out to $6.66 per month instead of $19.99.

The ‘Amazon Advertising Blueprint’ course:
After many messages asking for a Black Friday discount, I have decided to add the ‘Amazon Advertising Blueprint‘ course to the list. Many newcomers to my Facebook group missed out on the launch price, so this is for you.
The price of the course is currently $399, but for a Black Friday special, I will be dropping the price by a massive 62% to just $149. Because this is the lowest price that it’s ever been, I have limited the amount available at this price. This will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The discounted price will go live on Wednesday, 22nd of November, and end at midnight on Friday, 24th (23:59 UTC).
The ‘Amazon Advertising Blueprint‘ course has 33 detailed video lessons taking you through every level of Amazon advertising, from basic advertising fundamentals to changing to a winning mindset, how to create various campaign types, bonus campaigns, how to optimize your ads effectively, advanced advertising strategies, and a bonus lesson on how to get more bulk orders.
You will also gain access to our private advertising Facebook group for ongoing support.
If you are in my Facebook group ‘KDP Secrets,’ you will have seen the lovely testimonials and kind words from students who have been through the course. Join them, take control of your business, stop wasting unnecessary money on advertising mistakes, and learn how advertising can help to scale your KDP business fast.

Creative Fabrica:
The one stop shop for all your fonts, design elements, a-plus content mock-ups, and more. Creative Fabrica are offering a year of all access for only $47. This works out to just $3.91 per month. (I paid $59.99 for the year)
This is the lowest price I have ever seen for the all access subscription. It is fantastic price to get eveything you need to design your book covers and interiors.
If you already have the yearly all access subscription, you can extend your subscription for another year for $47.
I have used Creative Fabrica since I started publishing and will be taking advantage of this lower price for another year.
***IMPORTANT*** This deal is available starting on Wednesday the 23rd of November.

Affinity Designer:
Affinity Designer is a cost-effective alternative to Adobe illustrator. Affinity designer is available for a one-time purchase whereas Adobe illustrator operates on a subscription based model.
Some users swear by Affinity designer due to it being simpler to use and less resource intensive on their systems compared to illustrator.
For Black Friday they are offering 40% off all apps. A great deal for someone who has Illustrator and wants to reduce their expenses.

Adobe:
Adobe are offering 50% off their creative cloud all app service. With this package you will gain access to over 20 Adobe apps including, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere pro, Indesign, After effects, Lightroom and many more.
With this 50% price reduction the montly subscription would be around $36 per month. Now, this is pretty steep for someone who only uses a single Adobe app like Illustrator, but if you are a self-publisher that uses both Illustrator and photoshop, then this may be a good deal for you. The deal would be even sweeter if you are a self-publisher that also makes videos for YouTube, etc.
The deal ends Friday the 24th of November.
