The power of word of mouth
Nothing sells books like word of mouth, and nothing gets people talking about a new title like Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Giveaways.
Many Giveaways winners write reviews, building early buzz and visibility for your book.

“ŷ±¦ÓéÀ� played a major role in helping The Girl on the Train break out to early success. We knew that getting early reviews from Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ members would be critical. Once the word of mouth started and readers got excited about the book, the social side of Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ amplified the buzz it was getting to astounding levels."
- Kate Stark, Riverhead Books Marketing Vice President
Create awareness
Your Giveaway will be featured throughout Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, raising the visibility of your books.
When people enter your Giveaway, your book will show up in the newsfeeds of their friends and followers.
“My Giveaways on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ have not only gotten lots of entries, but they’ve definitely increased the shelvings of my books by new readers and fans."
- Bella Andre, author of The Sullivans Series

“Quality and consistency. I kept producing the kinds of stories that I wanted to read. Word of mouth did the rest."
- Hugh Howey, author of Wool Omnibus
“I started running Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Giveaways when I was a self-published author to bring attention to my first book,
Slammed. Now we run them in conjunction with my publisher to get the word out about new books and to get
pre-publication excitement going.�
- Colleen Hoover, author of Confess

A trusted tool of authors and publishers
Many of the biggest authors and publishers in the world have successfully used Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Giveaways
to drive awareness of their books
to drive awareness of their books
“ŷ±¦ÓéÀ� Giveaways have been a great tool to help me find new readers and engage my fans. When Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ tells
everyone who has added my book (and my followers) that I’m running a Giveaway,
it spreads the word about my book in a really powerful way.�
“…Authors who are considering Giveaways should definitely go for it—so many new readers come to the table, and the
entries are always exciting to see! More and more readers add a new book to their shelf and it’s incredibly
helpful to be able to then follow up to alert them that a book is either out or available at a discount.�
“One of my favorite things about Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Giveaways is how it allows me to connect with readers.
I receive many copies of my books from my publishers—including those in foreign languages—and I’m not always
sure what to do with them. Being able to offer them as Giveaways allows me to put those copies to good use and
establish more of a connection with readers and fans, especially those who aren't always able to attend book
signings or events.�
