Want to read books for free? We frequently test new and already published books for authors and publishers. Is the book a page turner? Is the cover right for the audience? Who falls in love with the book? We answer questions like these for publishers with our industry-leading software. You receive a free book months in advance of anybody else in exchange for your reading data and feedback.
We provide digital tools for many publishers to make advance reading copies available to readers for them to review. You get a free ebook from the publisher in exchange for reviewing it online after reading. We will be posting a directory of participating publishers soon.
We work with publishers to connect books with readers. Bookshops and readers benefit at no additional cost. We have lots of free digital tools to help bookshops spark interest among readers and increase both footfall in shop and online traffic.
Online samples help readers fall in love book even if it is the print version they want buy, read and own. Use our Jellybooks DISCOVERY service for bookshops to provide online book samples as part of your online shop and in your email newsletter. Let readers browse your collection from the comfort of their home and fall in love with new books.
Make your social media posts more engaging with our SMART links. Create sample links of books with custom call-to-action images and buy buttons that work across Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and many other social media platforms, linking readers directly from the sample they are reading to you and your bookshop.
