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.

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.

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 free giveaways are undertaken by the writers themselves while others are done through some agents who specialize in this kind of work. These agents mainly work online in websites where the readers are given the chance to choose a book they may want to be given. Some giveaways are usually undertaken in the form of a competition that gives the winner the free copies. This can be in the form of a raffle.

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.

Both readers and writers are usually advised to visit these giveaway sites so as to encourage writing. When more people request a particular publication then more people will be willing to purchase the publication and in turn more writers will be encouraged to write and the already existing ones will write more quality content.
