Computer Support Blog

Authors do not generally have a chance to receive direct feedback from readers during their writing process, especially in regards to e-books. Most e-readers only include fully completed books, and fans of an author rarely see a work in progress.  There are also very few apps or services sharing books from independent writers.  BookieJar is different, combining the typical services available from any website or mobile platform offering e-books with several additional unique features.

One thing unique to BookieJar is the inclusion of works from independent writers and publishers to its comprehensive collection.  Not only that, but writers can publish books in progress and collect feedback from readers while continuing to work on completing them.  BookieJar provides readers with automatic reminders to inform them when a writer has published updates so they can follow a work’s development.  The app gives each writer a chance to attract readers and helps to promote their books in a number of ways, including online promotion and recommendations to book reviewers, book agents, publishers, and reader groups.  There is no setup fee or exclusive contract, and the copyright belongs to the writer.  There is support available for those wanting to do promotions by themselves, such as helping them advertise on social media sites so readers can find them easily.  BookieJar also has an affiliate program so writers can have motivated affiliates to help them promote and distribute their books.

On BookieJar, readers have access to either free books or paid books, and reading free books does not require signing up.  Readers only need to sign up to be a member in order to access the paid books, though they can enjoy a more complete service through a low-cost membership. BookieJar utilizes an e-wallet paying system for keeping credits and recharging. The minimum purchase is $5 even if you are purchasing a book that is less than $5, and the rest remains on your account as credits that you can apply toward your next purchase.  This way, you do not need to go through all the paying steps for each book or each new chapter in a book in progress.  With basic tech support features, you can access the app from any computer, and most e-readers as well as Android and iOS-based mobile devices.

The aspect of community is a major component to BookieJar’s service.  As a member, your personal profile would allow the app and fellow readers to make book recommendations based on your tastes.  You could also communicate with your favorite writers, leave comments and suggestions to the books you like, and discuss works with other readers.  As long as you have computer support to make sure your tech devices are functioning and ready to use, you can continue to enjoy the many benefits of membership.

BookieJar enables more communication between authors and readers during the writing process, letting users share their thoughts and potentially impact the development of an author’s work.
