What Bookhabit does for writers and authors?

Bookhabit wants to help you take your book to the world, get noticed, and get direct feedback from readers and other authors.  Uploading your book on Bookhabit means you can take advantage of the benefits of a central platform. We provide all the key features you need to market your book well, and we also help you increase the visibility of your book on Bookhabit and the internet.

The benefits
Because of the way the Internet works it is far more efficient and powerful to aggregate content in one place. 1000 books on Bookhabit attracts far more traffic than 1000 authors creating their own websites. Here are some examples of how Bookhabit can help get readers to see your books:

• On average every site visitor to Bookhabit looks at 8 books
• Every day we serve around 300MB worth of First Chapters
• Every month over 50,000 listeners download our podcasts for The Bookhabit Show where we tell the author’s story behind the story
• We use search engine optimisation and online marketing techniques to enhance the visibility of your book on the internet
• We provide you with tools and tricks on how you can promote your book using online marketing techniques.

Editors don’t go trawling the net to find authors. They will visit regularly the sites they trust.

The risks?
Uploading your book on Bookhabit is free and you don’t have to enter any binding contracts. You maintain all rights to your work, and can remove your books from the site at any time. Some people believe that publishers won’t touch you or your work if it is available online or is self published. This is not true. Publishers are looking for success stories or stories they can make a success. A demonstrated interest in your book is useful, and may lead to either your current book or future books being picked up by a publisher.

What else?
Bookhabit also offers a forum where you can discuss your work or writing experiences with readers and other writers. You can get feedback immediately on what readers think of your work. Don’t take this personally – critique can be positive and may give you an indication why your work has not been published in the past, and suggestions of how it could be improved in the future. Then again, maybe the comment is not from your target audience – in which case you needn’t worry.

You can tap into professional services through the links to editors who can help you further polish your work. There are also orators who can help turn your writing into an audioBook; or you could orate your own writing.
