Free E-Sampler for SFNovelists!
Aug. 3rd, 2011 11:30 amI belong to a SF&F author group online called SFNovelists and one of our current projects is to offer up free e-samplers. These samplers are to include 25 first chapters from novels written by members of the group. The idea is that you guys can download the sampler and then get a small taste of what the book would be like, perhaps even spurring you on to buy the book in whole. I think it's a great way to check out a bunch of new authors. Here's the pitch for it, and the cover art for the sampler. If you'd like to download it, head on over here and click on the appropriate link for your e-reader. And I hope you find some great new author and book! There will be other e-samplers coming shortly!
