The latest Based Book Sale is now live. What is a "based book?" And what is a "Based Book Sale," you ask? Well, read on!
based [ beyst ] / beɪst / adjective
1. Well-grounded, resting upon a firm foundation.
2. Principled, devoted to fixed standards, especially in defiance of conventional wisdom.
3. Rejecting politically correct attitudes and celebrating nonconformity with woke opinion.
4. Committed to upholding and advancing the good, the beautiful, and the true.
antonyms: debased, cringe
A few times a year, indie and small press authors band together for a special sale. For one week, we all price some of our best books at only $0.99 or free, and we mutually promote the sale to our readers, fans, mailing lists, and social media followers.
Why is the Based Book Substack needed? Because gatekeeping is real, and the mission of mainstream publishing is to push the narratives and cultural programming they want to impose on you, not to offer the entertaining and worthwhile stories you want to read. One mainstream literary agent declares she is “ONLY open to receiving queries from writers from marginalized backgrounds such as (but not limited to) those who identify as BIPOC/BAME, LGBTQ+, ND, and DIS.” Even authors of woke fiction risk cancellation if a mob of hate reviewers decide they are insufficiently “diverse” and have “culturally appropriated” otherwise woke writings.
As The Federalist observed, conservative guerrilla marketing like the ‘Big Based Book Sale’ is how we fight leftist gatekeepers.
But wait, you ask. How much does this cost you?
Nothing. Well, except for actually buying the books. Authors share books and find new readers, readers get great deals and discover new authors, and we all help each other out by promoting the sale.
With 75 New Arrivals and nearly 200 titles in all, there's something to please all readers.
Enough is enough.

Volvo posted a 3 min and 46 second ad on Instagram, shot by Hoyte Van Hoytema, the cinematographer of Interstellar and Oppenheimer.
It goes against every single rule you can think about as a social lead. Length. Format. Over-produced.
Every comment under the ad said it immediately put Volvo in their consideration set. It's fucking fantastic.
Happy #InternationalMensDay to all the homies! Ill never forget when I tried to celebrate this day on Mixer & got lambasted & lashed out against for trying to celebrate my homies and bring awareness to the struggles men face with suicide, homelessness & loneliness. Its a shame.
2nd wave of #sonofsyn books are mailing out today! Thank you everyone for your patience 🙏 wave 3 soon when I get more envelopes! Get your order in soon before sold out 👍 #NewBook#books#author#cyberpunk
@Grummz We need to stop letting them use the word diversity. It's intersectionality. It's critical theory, and we need to keep hammering that message home until it sticks in the minds of normies
