These usually share lists of new or free books in a category\u2014so subscribing to one or more of these can give you updates. ([newshelves.com](https://newshelves.com/bookfunnel-yay-or-nay/?utm_source=openai))  \n  You can also follow individual authors who submit books to these promos via their newsletter.\n\n- **Mailing list integration**  \n  Authors who use BookFunnel can connect it to email-services like MailerLite. When someone downloads a book (often via a promo or giveaway), their email can automatically go into a newsletter list\u2014helping that author notify readers when there\u2019s a new release. ([mailerlite.com](https://www.mailerlite.com/integrations/bookfunnel?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Watch authors\u2019 announcements or genre newsletters**  \n  Some authors or genre-based mailing lists send out \u201cnew release alerts\u201d or monthly wrap-ups that include BookFunnel titles. These won\u2019t cover *everything*, but they\u2019ll often highlight what\u2019s just been released.\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udeab What doesn\u2019t seem to exist (so far)\n\n- There doesn\u2019t appear to be a master list published by BookFunnel that sends alerts for *all* new books on the site.\n- No evidence of a public BookFunnel-wide \u201cjust published on BookFunnel\u201d digest being offered.  \n- If this kind of list exists, it\u2019s not clearly advertised or easy to find via BookFunnel\u2019s site or forums.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can dig deeper\u2014look for unofficial lists, author-driven updates, or genre-specific newsletters covering new BookFunnel releases\u2014and share ones you can *subscribe to*. Would you prefer I do that?"

Here\u2019s what turned up, plus ideas for how you might tap into them. None seem to fully match \u201cevery new book on BookFunnel\u201d\u2014but there *are* useful workarounds.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d What *does* exist\n\n1. **Author newsletters that share BookFunnel promos**\n   - Many authors who use BookFunnel participate in group promos. If you sign up for *their* newsletters, often you\u2019ll see anthologies/promos that include multiple new or free BookFunnel titles. ([storiesrulepress.com](https://storiesrulepress.com/other-places-to-find-good-books-bookfunnel-storyorigin/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - These emails won\u2019t always list *all* BookFunnel releases, but they often highlight new ones in your preferred genre.

([blmaxwellwriter.com](https://blmaxwellwriter.com/2026/08/25/tuesday-update-3/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - So, some authors curate their own lists or digests for their readers that highlight *new or recent* BookFunnel content.\n\n3. **BookFunnel group promotion alerts**\n   - BookFunnel has a \u201cPromotions Board\u201d for authors looking to join promos, which is threaded by genre. Authors can save preferred genres and get notified when new promos open in those genres. ([jeremypmadsen.com](https://www.jeremypmadsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Email-Marketing-Lead-Magents-and-Welcome-Sequences-Slides-Jeremy-P.-Madsen.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n   - These are staffed by authors but *designed for authors*\u2014not quite what you want if you\u2019re only a reader.\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f What still seems *not* to exist\n\n- No confirmed BookFunnel-wide newsletter that alerts *every* new book published on its platform, across all genres.\n- No single feed or digest that covers every BookFunnel title in real time.\n- Most existing update sources are author-driven and genre-specific, meaning you\u2019ll see a subset, not the whole.\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udca1 How you could approximate what you want\n\nHere are ways you can get pretty close to a full-picture of new BookFunnel releases, by combining a few sources:\n\n- **Follow multiple authors in your genre** whose books regularly show up on BookFunnel. Subscribe to their newsletters\u2014that way you\u2019ll catch when they promote their new releases or promo inclusions.  \n- **Watch for author-curated roundups** like the one from BL Maxwell. They often list new releases with BookFunnel links.  \n- **Check BookFunnel\u2019s \u201cFree & Bargain\u201d pages** or \u201cLatest Promos\u201d sections if available\u2014especially when authors share them on their blogs or social media.  \n- **Set up alerts**: Use tools like RSS (if BookFunnel pages have them), or email alerts via sites like Feedly, Newsblur, or even Google alerts with terms like \u201csite:books.bookfunnel.com new release\u201d.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can try creating a curated list of a few email/newsletter sources (across different genres) you can sign up for, which *do* cover BookFunnel new releases. Want me to pick a genre (fiction, fantasy, romance, etc.) or a broad list?"
