Quick Update on a Recent Blog Post: Instafreebie
Instafreebie’s new iOs reading app has been released. More about the reading app and how it can help with discoverability here.
Additionally, Instafreebie has also just released a group giveaway interface. If you’re a writer who wants to find and join a group giveaway, you can now locate one through the Instafreebie site. More information on that can be found here.

As always, Elizabeth, these links are so interesting and useful! I’m especially interested in that great-looking collection of international publishing links.
Isn’t that nice? And good to have our books available to a wider audience.
My ebook formatting tips are included – thank you.
And that was quite a popular link on Twitter…nice post.
Lots of great links – thanks for gathering them :)
Thanks for coming by, Jemi!
