Because the Sampler
is offered for free, it consistently ranks high in search results for Alaska
books, making it an effective and ongoing means of promotion for contributing
authors. As a discovery tool, it enables contributing authors to reach new
readers outside their usual genres. As a sampler, it allows authors with
upcoming new works on Alaska to offer a preview chapter or excerpt to their
readers.

Here’s what readers are saying about the Alaska Sampler 2014:

never been to Alaska, and probably never will go, as it’s on the other side of
the world from me, but this collection certainly ignited my own interest in the
region . . . I’ve
also already downloaded longer works by a couple of the authors that I liked
best.”
