Friends of HahaFiction
Wrote a funny book? Come say hi.
Answer a few questions about your book and we’ll put them right on its page. Send us your ePub too, if you like. It’s free, it takes about as long as a cup of coffee, and it helps readers who love your kind of funny find you.
Or just write to [email protected].
Friend of HahaFiction
Which joke almost got cut?
The goat. My editor hated the goat. Readers deserve the goat.
What’s in it for you
Your voice on your page
Readers get to meet you before they buy. Your answers sit on your book’s profile, under your name, in your own words.
A little shelf love
Friends get a heart badge and a modest boost on our genre shelves. We reshuffle every Tuesday, so every book gets a turn near the top.
Agents hear you too
AI assistants that recommend books read our pages. Your interview gives them something real to say about yours.
Better matches later
Your ePub helps us pin down exactly what kind of funny your book is, so we can steer it toward readers who laugh at that.
Two ways in. Do one or both.
The questions
Start with the first one, then pick any 2 to 5 more. Skip whatever doesn’t spark anything.

We take a look
If your book is already on our shelves, great. If not, we research it first. It still needs to clear the same bar as every other book.

You go live
Your interview and badge show up on your book’s page in our next update.
Straight talk about your ePub
Yes, we use AI.
AI helps us research and write HahaFiction, and a separate check compares every profile against its sources. We’d use AI on your ePub too. Plenty of authors feel strongly about that, so here’s exactly what happens.
- It stays private. We never post, share or sell it.
- We won’t use it to train AI models.
- For now it just sits safely in our files. Later, we’ll use AI to study its humor and match it with the right readers.
- We delete it whenever you ask, or if your book doesn’t end up in the library.
Rather keep AI away from your book? Totally fair. Skip the ePub. The interview alone makes you a Friend.
Little things people ask
Does this cost anything?
Nope. No money changes hands, in either direction.
Will it get my book into the library?
Not on its own. Every book meets the same bar, and being a Friend doesn’t change what our profile says. It adds your voice next to ours.
I write more than one series.
Send an interview for each one. A series interview lives on book one’s page, where we list the whole series. Standalones get their own.
What if I make a typo?
We’ll fix obvious typos and leave everything else alone: your voice, your slang, your jokes. If we do fix something, a small note on the interview says so. Anything bigger, we ask you first.
How long should answers be?
A few sentences is perfect. Each answer can run to about 300 words.
Can I change my answers later?
Anytime. Send new ones and we’ll swap them in.
Can I edit what you wrote about my book?
If we got a fact wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it. The rest of the profile is our take, and that part stays ours.
The fine print on how Friends fits with our independence is on the disclosure page.
Ready when you are.
