The Cozy Day Away Sale, the first-ever cozy fantasy group sale event dedicated to the cozy fantasy genre, returns October 3rd-4th, 2026. This community-run event lets you pick up hundreds of titles, not limited to Kindle ebooks.
There are discounted prices on dozens of authors who are participating in the two-day event, which is scheduled to coincide with HearthCon, a gathering for fans of cozy fantasy. Readers can join the sale by visiting the official website during the event—no registration or HearthCon attendance is required.
Here’s how to claim your free fantasy ebooks
There are print and audio versions available too
While most digital book sales are limited to one distributor or genre, Cozy the Day Away provides books from a range of platforms, not just Amazon, and also offers print and audio versions. The event has introduced a special category for books priced at $1.00 or less in order to attract more budget-minded readers. Titles available during the sale include “Death on the Loper” by Alicia Warne, “Tea and Tomes” by Christine L. Donnelly, and “Desserts & Dragons” by Bo Huffman.
Other popular free ebook events, such as Stuff Your Kindle, have a few limitations. First, those events only apply to books available through Kindle Unlimited on Amazon. Cozy the Day Away, on the other hand, covers ebooks, paperback books, hardcover books, and audiobooks as well. This means authors can list their books outside Amazon, giving them access to a wide range of distributors, including libraries. While some of the books aren’t free, all are heavily discounted, and the organizers even have a “$1.00 or free” category for those looking for bargains.

The volunteers who run the event focus on diversity, and authors can identify themselves in areas such as physical and mental disability, LGBTQIA+ representation, membership of the global majority, neurodiversity, religious and cultural diversity, and body positivity. The organizers point out that authors are not obliged to state their specific background, which helps to protect their privacy while at the same time allowing readers to come across a variety of different voices.
The volunteers also implement strict policies that prohibit AI-generated or pirated long-form content, as well as AI-generated cover and internal art. These measures support authentic, human-created work and assure readers that all featured content is original and ethically published.
You can find a full list of the authors taking part and their books—from “The Healers’ Road” by S.E. Robertson to “The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dragons & Magical Creatures & Demons” by A.J. Ponder—on the official website here.
