It’s been a long time coming, but 2Leaf Press is finally pleased to announce 2LP Previews/Reviews, where reviewers can download Digital Review Copies.
Besides the fact it’s pretty cool and geeky of us to be able to offer downloads to reviewers directly from our website, the main reason we’re offering Digital Review Copies because it’s an onerous expense for a small press like us to ship out print copies. Frankly, we saw this as a way to decrease costs by sending digital copies when at all possible, which is why we created a system so that reviewers and key personnel in the industry can download Digital Review Copies of our books.
In recent years, the industry has increasingly embraced Digital Review Copies as eReaders have become more commonplace, and readers participate in various virtual literary communities, including innovative online literary websites, journals, and blogs. Our Digital Review Copies are exact replicas of the printed version and can be read across all platforms, on one’s computer screen, eReader, or simply printed out. All of our books are available in PDF and all of them will soon be available in ePub and Kindle formats by the end of July 2014. We also plan to have Advanced Review Copies (ARC), beginning with our Fall titles in the next few months, so stay tuned for more announcements.
The obvious benefit to sending Digital Review Copies is the green factor, and we dig the fact that we’re helping to make our environment better for all of us living creatures. Another bonus, of course, is the expediency of a digital copy: instant gratification. So if you are a reviewer, blogger, journalist, librarian, bookseller, educator, or in the media, register to request and receive your 2LP Digital Review Copies today. Your feedback and recommendations are essential to 2Leaf Press and readers alike, so be sure to send us a copy of your review at bookreviewer [AT] 2leafpress [DOT] org so we can post it on our website.
