Relevance Of Holding Free Book Giveaways

By Marci Glover


For a voracious reader, there are only a few things that can interest them more that getting more books to read especially if they are off charge. Free book giveaways are always great ways to learn more about new works in the market, new authors and also get familiar with different styles of writing. Free copies are mainly given away for promotional purposes.

Writers of the books usually sacrifice some of their copies to be given out for free to some lucky readers. Through this more people are able to learn more about their work and therefore those who are not lucky enough to get the free copies can decide to buy the book especially if it is a page turner. This is better as opposed to dedicating all the copies to the sales and not getting any market for them.

When a giveaway is by an author that is loved by many readers they usually get to excited and request more copies. The more the number of people requests for a specific book then the less the chances of a specific reader getting the publication they requested. Unless a reader is lucky, they always end up getting a publication they do not like.

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 exist many giveaway sites that give readers the chance to get a publication of their choice by a writer of their choice. These websites normally get permission from publishers to release some volumes early and put them out so that readers learn about them. The readers who get the free copies are never forced to write reviews about them but they are always advised to do so.

Most giveaways specify the regions from which people can request books from. This is because of the difficulty in the delivery of the copies. The books are always arranged in categories including the newly listed, most requested, almost ending and works from common authors. This is able to make the search for a specific book easy. The writers can also identify the volumes with less requests thus increasing their chances of getting the copy.

Writers who want to promote their books also visit these websites and post a description of their work. They also put up a few of their copies up for giveaways so that more people will be interested in looking at it. Most of them make their descriptions interesting so that more people are attracted to their work of art.

So as to encourage writing as a skill, it is suggested that novelists and book-lovers stopover these websites in their free time. With more persons uploading their prints and bidding for prints then there would be reassurance for both subjects to compose more and read extra respectively.
