Are you a Publisher?

There's a book in everyone!
Each of us has a story to tell, whether it's real or imaginary, fact or fiction. We all have interests, hobbies, skills, knowledge, experiences, beliefs, and ideas we can share. Whatever the subject, you can write about it and publish on obooko free of charge, regardless of age, experience or skill.

What's more, every writer has the chance of winning a prize in the annual obooko prize awards.

Everyone Welcome!
From tens of thousands of unsolicited manuscripts submitted to trade book publishers, only one will be selected and published. So why set yourself up for rejection? Forget the traditional route and submit your ebook FREE to obooko. It's a great way to 'test the water,' and feedback from members will be valuable in helping you improve your work. And, because your book is in digital format, you can make corrections and upload new versions whenever you wish.

Already published?
Do you already have a free digital version of your work? Maybe you have an online novel you could convert to PDF? Perhaps you have a previously-published book you could revive in PDF format? All you have to do is submit it here. You retain all your rights and we will not offer your work for sale. Your file will remain unchanged other than the addition of a tracking code at the end of the pdf file-name.

Try a Bedtime Story or Short Story to start ...
Entries in our Short Story and Bedtime Story categories are very popular with members as a first step into the world of self-publishing. You may submit as many stories as you wish and will be eligible for entry in our obooko prize awards.

What's the catch?
There isn't one! The prime objective of obooko is to offer members access to free ebooks in a wide range of genres and categories. Why free? Because not everyone can afford to buy printed books and most authors would rathetr have their book read than gather dust on a bookstore shelf. So, if your motivation for writing is to have your work read, you are in the right place. No charges, no contracts to sign and you are free to promote your book wherever you wish.

Marketing and Promotion
We will be doing all we can to promote obooko effectively and sustain its growth. We'll also promote as many individual books as possible internally and externally. But you too can play a part by talking about it on your blog and the forums you visit. Email everyone you know with the web address of your bookpage, and write to your local newspaper to let them know too.
