Publish your book for free on BookRix

by **bookluvr817** » Tue Oct 16, 2012 7:32 am

BookRix.com helps authors publish their books and allows members to discuss their work and get feedback.

BookRix recently launched a free publishing service, so there is no more initial fee. Free of charge, they will distribute their author´s eBooks to over 60 external stores - including Amazon, Apple iBookstore, Kobo and Barnes and Nobles.

Just the way it reads tells me it's spam.

Not only spam but most likely scam...

Overpromoted, perhaps, but not a scam; it's been around for over 4 years: http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2008/10/v ... brand.html.

And mentioned as dubious by Victoria.

Big question, as with all these dozens of clamboring publish portals, would be WHY?

Why do that instead of Kindle and Smashwords?

What it looks like is they are trying to build a base for the ads they place in your books.

Thanks Lin, this was driving me nuts trying to figure out the scam. No business can afford to 'publish' books for free. The money to pay the light and water bills has to come from somewhere. The placing of ads makes so much more sense. :mrgreen:

Just my guess, based on Victoria's comments.
