Free

[close] A circle of people preparing to publish their next/first book. Looking for beta readers? A critiquing partner? A review? Just looking for a free read? Then you've come to the right place. There are three parts to this group. I just want to read free stuff: The name says it all. Here you can go through the list of works on offer, and request a copy from the author. Critiquing circle: for those who want constructive criticism to improve their story before publishing, akin to what an editor in a publishing house would offer. This part of the group will be limited to ten people to make it easy to manage. It is for the Indie who is serious about their work (and who would rather avoid negative reviews by fixing problems before publishing). Beta/critiquing partners: a place where you can find a beta match. Here you can go through the list of books on offer by others looking for a beta-partner. If you like the sound of a book in here, you can then approach the author about becoming a beta match. So – if any of these sound like what you're looking for, check out the relevant thread.

[close] Advanced Review Copies (ARC) of Fiction Titles made available to Reviewers and Readers before official launch direct from the Authors. ARCs are provided for free on select electronic formats (most often Kindle).

[close] A group dedicated to books that are available for free. In this group we talk about public-domain books, where to get them, what books are available on a particular topic, what new books have recently entered the public-domain, and subjects generally related to public-domain books. "The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones." - Joseph Joubert (1754 - 1824)
