Thank you for enrolling in the 2014 Smashwords Read an Ebook Week promotion, taking place March 2-8 2014.  For one week only, thousands of Smashwords authors and publishers will provide readers deep discounts on ebooks, with coupon code levels for 25%-off, 50%-off, 75%-off and FREE.

The sale often yields our authors record sales and downloads.  The more authors who participate, the better the results for all the participants.  Each year, the promotion sets new records as more authors participate.

How the Program Works:

At one minute past midnight Pacific time on March 2, the special Smashwords Read an Ebook Week promotion catalog goes live on the Smashwords home page.  Readers can browse the catalog and search by coupon code levels and categories.  At the stoke of midnight Pacific time at the end of the day on March 8, the catalog disappears.

The coupon codes only work at Smashwords, not at retailers served by Smashwords.
You can change your enrollment preferences at any time by visiting the enrollment page at http://www.smashwords.com/dashboard/sitewidePromo

How to Reach the Most Readers with this Promotion:

1.  Visit our official Read an Ebook Week hub page, where you'll find banners, buttons and badges you can use in the promotion.
2.  Post an announcement on your blog or web site to announce your participation. Provide a direct link to your book page or your author page (click "My Smashwords for links to each) and be sure to include the coupon codes for your readers.  The coupon code is also displayed on your book's book page.  Don't send your fans to the Smashwords home page at www.smashwords.com because they'll get distracted by all the other great books.
3. Promote your participation on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, your favorite message boards and loops, LinkedIn, Google Plus and other social platforms, and provide a direct hyperlink to your author page or the book page.
4. Encourage your fellow authors to participate right alongside you!  The more authors who actively participate, the more readers will be scouring the sale pages for their next read.  Your next reader might learn about the sale from your favorite indie author friend!
5. Encourage your fans to support your fellow indie authors.  Provide them a direct link to the Read an Ebook Week promotion page, which is https://www.smashwords.com/books/category/1/newest/1
6See the Smashwords Book Marketing Guide for a list of over 30 book marketing ideas you can implement at no cost.   http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/305
7. Read Mark Coker's recently updated ebook, The Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success  This ebook identifies 29 best practices of the bestselling Smashwords authors.  It's a quick, fun read, and it'll give you lots of ideas that will help you reach more readers.  Download it for free here:  https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/145431
8. Do you have writer friends who aren't yet on Smashwords?  Encourage them to publish with Smashwords asap.  The sale doesn't end until March 8 so there's plenty of time for them to join in!
