FAQ's
What do discoverabook do?
- We publish and sell ebooks on the internet specializing in new authors who are trying to find a publisher or agent.
What will discoverabook do for an author?
- We will list your book on the internet and offer it for sale as an ebook. Readers may read about the book and download the first chapter for free, if they like what they read they can pay to download the rest of your book. You will receive 50% of the proceeds. This web site is designed to allow you to sell your work without incurring vanity publishing costs. Remember if you have a book that is successful and selling well we will approach publishers on your behalf to enquire about a publishing deal.
Why use your site and not some of the others available?
- Other sites do not work the same way that we do!
If you are an author and you want your work to be published you will also want it to be found. The sheer fact that you have found this site amongst all of the other book and publishers sites and you are reading this shows that we are already a long way to achieving what you want. Many book publishers are so specific to their trade that new authors are unlikely to know of their web address and find them. Advertising on the web is useless if no one can find your site from a general search. We promote this site through what is currently most popular search engine Google and regularly achieve some of the highest rankings.
What are your prices like?
- We are currently offering listings FREE for authors and writers. Books offered for sale will initially be available at a very low cost; this may be changed as we become more established. As a new site we have intentionally set our advertising prices much lower than our competitors. Although we do expect to increase them as the site becomes more popular. In addition we have some introductory Special Offers.
How do you earn your money?
Who are discoverabook.com?
- We are a newly formed privately owned company registered in the UK with a vision of establishing websites that are consumer orientated. We are non traditional and like to "look outside of the square". Our experience has been that many companies have not grasped the reality of the internet. Many have web sites which are hard to find, difficult to navigate and use and in our opinion poorly put together.
We believe that the market place for e-books is enormous and relatively untouched. Discoverabook is new, innovative and exciting and we anticipate will be the market leader for New Authors and Writers. There is great satisfaction to be achieved from a job well done.
