Binnacle Press: "We have just created a new website for fellow authors to promote their work on a totally free basis. We invite writers to send us their cover art, a little information about their work and the link to their sales page - we do not ask for a link-back or payment of any kind. We also list books from Amazon as an associate, and this is how we raise any funds and once we find the perfect software we will also be considering expanding into Royalty-paying ebook publication."
"We pride ourselves on having morals and ethics and as a writer myself (my first book was published last month) I know what a minefield it is to find somewhere honest and decent to promote your work. We are a small site at the moment and we are working all to time to increase our size."
BLOSM.com: "a web community and marketplace for writers, literary agents, the reading public, and book publishers, where aspiring writers upload their unpublished works to our site, and literary fans read and rate them."
Bluemorph's Book Review: Info about books, authors and what the book is about. Link broken.

Book Shopping Network, The: "...will be starting its' pilot program to assist authors who have written books and are looking for affordable ways to market and sell their books. The pilot program is open to all authors including those who have self-published." The amount of stock they request is too little, even with constant resupplies at (presumably) the author's expense, for this promotion and marketing program to work in the author's favor. Caution strongly advised.
