Free Books. As in free beer.
Starting immediately we're offering Personal Selling Pages to authors who wish to give away their books for free. Before you think we've lost our collective marbles, let me explain:
We're talking about e-books only here. Traffic to the PABD bookstore is increasing week on week, we're going to add a section to it called 'Free Books'. From there authors can distribute books they have written but aren't ready to publish yet, books they're holding the rights to but have published elsewhere or books they just want to get out into the market to gather feedback from their readers. You do not need to be an existing PABD customer to take advantage of this free service, we're happy to help with the distribution of any e-book as long as you own the rights to it.
To get your book included into our shop just send a mail to me. Click here.
Why should you do this? Let me quote award winning author Cory Doctorow, who is making all of his books available for free download on his website: "I've given away more than half a million digital copies of my award-winning first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, and that sucker has blown through five print editions (yee-HAW!), so I'm not worried that giving away books is hurting my sales."
Please note that we currently do not offer any payment facilities for e-books. All books submitted must be available for free download.
