On the Bestseller Author plan, there are three basic steps to sharing your books with readers: first, add an author name, then you will upload the book, and finally, you’ll send it to readers so they can download the book! Each of these steps is outlined below to get you started.

BookFunnel is not a promotional platform and we do not have a reader list. Readers will only find your book on our service if you (or someone else) sends them the link to it.
Because we are not a promo site, you can trust that when you send your reader to BookFunnel, they are only going to see your book. They will not receive free content by other authors on our service. While we will never solicit your reader, we think it is awesome when authors work and promote together, so we built this handy board to facilitate those partnerships.
