Did you know that over 60% of Americans posses a library card? That’s a lot of potential readers for your book. And while the royalties you could potentially earn from said libraries probably won’t be a major source of income (library providers pay different royalty rates so check with your book distributor to learn more), there is the satisfaction of seeing (or knowing that) your book is there and can expose your work to more readers.
And who doesn’t want that?
Enter LibraryBub, a new service offered by IndieReader, in conjunction with bestselling author Alinka Rutkowska, who launched the service six years ago to make it easier for indie authors to gain the attention of this important—yet hard-to-reach—audience. Through its far-reaching newsletter, sent weekly to about 10,000 libraries and 40+ foreign rights agents, LibraryBub spreads the word about under the radar indie titles and where to find them. And while there’s no guarantee that a library will purchase your book, it’s a great way to gain their attention and thereby increase your chances.
Interested?
The process is easy. You make your purchase, fill out the form and the folks at LibraryBub take it from there, including your book in their newsletter to librarians and foreign rights agents who look forward to their recommendations. In addition, your book is also added to LibraryBub’s permanent catalog.
