Why You Need to Join Published.com

We Hope You Love Published.com

Published.com has provided free book promotion for authors since 1997.

We encourage all authors to make the Published.com Book Directory their first book marketing move for all new or previously published titles.

It’s totally free and comes with no strings attached -- it’s our way of supporting independently published writers and artists.

Get Your Book Found Online

You can upload your book’s cover, blurb, and link to your sales page.
The high Google page rank of this directory will help interested readers find your book.
If you have a website or a blog for your book, a link from Published.com can help improve your site’s search engine ranking.

We’re guessing that “because all the cool kids are” probably isn’t a good enough reason for you to join Published.com . So, we actually have real and viable reasons why authors, publishers, bloggers , book reviewers, die-hard book lovers (aka readers), and publishing resource services should join Published.com.
