100+ Places to Market Your Chick Lit and Women’s Fiction Book

Chick lit and its umbrella, women’s fiction, are genres that concern themselves with the issues of the modern woman. These types of fiction are not necessarily romance novels – a lot of chick lit books focus on the heroine’s personal life, from friends and family to the workplace. These books may be fun and lighthearted without compromising the value of examining the woman and her life, or may be insightful critiques and commentary on the condition of the woman.

Below are links you could check out and where you could market your chick lit/women’s fiction book!
