“We started winabook as a way to promote authors and books, and reading in general,” says founder Stephanie Bond. “It’s my hope that winabook will generate more excitement in books as an entertainment choice, and that readers will discover authors and titles they might not otherwise be exposed to, in a fun, accessible environment.

About winabook.com
The idea that has become winabook.com came to its founder Stephanie Bond in early 2009. A prolific novelist herself, Stephanie noticed the most highly trafficked page on her own website was the book giveaway page for her monthly contest. The thought of giving away books to a larger audience ultimately resulted in the national daily book giveaway that evolved into winabook.com.
Remarks Bond, “In a marketing environment where it’s harder and harder to advertise books, which have smaller profit margins and shorter shelf-lives than ever before, winabook.com will be an affordable way for authors and publishers to get book covers and titles in front of thousands of potential readers.”
How it works
Publishers and/or authors pay a fee to reserve space for a book cover in one or more categories on specific days, and agree to send the book to the winner in a timely manner. Readers enter drawings daily in the categories of their choice. Winners are chosen randomly in each category, every day. Currently open only to residents of the U.S., with plans to expand internationally.
