Bookhitch.com was conceived as the first of its kind – a “portal” for unique books that links publishers and authors directly to their readers. Operating under a simple business model, bookhitch eliminates the need for a middleman in the book distribution chain, allowing publishers and authors to collect the profits instead of losing a substantial portion of their sales margin to outside vendors. 

Bookhitch.com offers two types of listing services:

• Free Listing – publishers/authors can add an unlimited number of print, digital, and audio titles.
• Premium Listing – publishers/authors can enhance their free listings for $19.95 per year/per title with the following promotional features:
  • A full-color display of the book cover
  • An expanded, 120-word book description
  • An author biography
  • Book reviews
  • A separate web page, with a URL that can be placed on publisher/author websites
  • The book(s)  featured (randomly) on the bookhitch homepage
  • Book videos/trailers
  • First chapter previews
