Relevance Of Holding Free Book Giveaways

By Marci Glover


Voracious readers have more interest on only a few things when compared to getting more books to read not to mention if they are free. Through free book giveaways they are able to get additional information about any new authors, new publishing or even the genres of writing that they have not learnt about yet. The main reason for giving away free books is usually promotion.

The writers of specific works give out some of the copies of their works so that they are given to lucky readers. This acts as a campaign to make more people aware of their volume. The readers who are not lucky enough to be chosen for the copies might want to buy the book more so if it is interesting. This helps the writers more as opposed to putting up all copies for sale and getting only a few buyers.

If a giveaway is done by a writer who is valued by numerous book-lovers then more copies are usually requested. The larger the amount of individuals requesting for a certain publication then the fewer the chances of winning for a specific reader. Unless a volume-lover is fortunate, they constantly end up receiving a publication they did not put as their first choice.

Some book giveaways are carried out by the writers in person but others are carried out by some agents. They can be done online or in real events. The interested readers normally publication the book they want to be given and the lucky ones are given the books. Some giveaways are carried out as a competition so that the winners are the ones who receive the free copies. For instance the copies can be won in form of a sweepstake.

There are several publication giveaway websites that give local people the chance to try their luck on different kinds of volumes of different writing genres. These websites usually pre-release some copies with the permission of the publishers and provide a review of the book so that the readers can even be more interested in reading the book. The winners are not always required to provide a review of the volume they get but this is encouraged.

These giveaway websites work for people in a specified area because of the delivery mainly if it is not an e-book. They categorize the files in terms of most read, almost ending, newly listed and also popular authors. This simplifies the work of reader when they want to request a specific book. In this way the readers can also find records that do not have too many requests and therefore they get better odds.

These sites are not only for readers looking for books but also authors who may post their works with an addition of a description. This way they get more people who are interested in reading their book. They should ensure that their descriptions are catchy so as to get a greater market.

So as to promote writing as an art, it is recommended that authors and readers visit these sites time after time. With more people posting their copies and requesting for copies then there will be encouragement for both parties to write more and read more respectively.
