I’ve noticed a trend among sci-fi and fantasy writers to share free ebooks, and Brandon Sanderson is a great example. During the pandemic, he released 'The Original' as a free novella on his website. Then there’s Naomi Novik, who co-founded the Archive of Our Own fanfic platform and occasionally shares short works. For manga-inspired fiction, Drew Hayes ('Super Powereds') posts free chapters on his site. It’s a smart way to hook readers while supporting accessible storytelling.

As someone who scours the internet for hidden literary gems, I’ve stumbled upon several authors who generously share their work for free. Neil Gaiman is a standout—his official site often features short stories and excerpts, like 'A Study in Emerald,' blending fantasy and mystery seamlessly.

Another favorite is Cory Doctorow, a champion of open-access culture. His site, craphound.com, offers most of his books, including 'Little Brother,' a gripping ya dystopian novel, under Creative Commons licenses. For indie lovers, Hugh Howey initially released parts of 'Wool' for free online, building a massive fanbase before it became a bestseller. These authors prove great stories don’t always need a price tag.

Romance readers rejoice—Tessa Dare occasionally posts free short stories and novellas on her site, perfect for historical romance fans. Urban fantasy lovers can check out Patricia Briggs’ free 'Alpha and Omega' prequel stories. Web novel platforms like Royal Road also host authors like Pirateaba ('The Wandering Inn'), who serialize epic-length works for free before publishing.

For bite-sized horror, Stephen King’s website sometimes features free short stories like 'Cookie Jar,' though his full novels aren’t free. Indie horror gem Grady Hendrix offers free samples of his retro-style novels, great for testing his unique blend of scares and humor. Meanwhile, LitRPG author Travis Bagwell ('Awaken Online') shares free world-building extras that deepen the gaming universe he created.

Classic literature enthusiasts might already know this, but Project Gutenberg isn’t the only option. Modern authors like Mary Robinette Kowal ('The Lady Astronaut' series) share free short fiction set in her award-winning universes. Even Chuck Palahniuk released 'Legion' chapters online for free. These giveaways feel like finding bonus content after finishing a favorite series—except you don’t need to pay a dime.

I was the biological daughter of the Stone Family. With my gossip-tracking system, I played the part of a meek, obedient girl on the surface, but underneath, I would strike hard when it counted. What I didn't realize was that someone could hear my every thought. "Even if you're our biological sister, Alicia is the only one we truly acknowledge. You need to understand your place," said my brothers. 'I must've broken a deal with the devil in a past life to end up in the Stone Family this time,' I figured. My brothers stopped dead in their tracks. "Alice is obedient, sensible, and loves everyone in this family. Don't stir up drama by trying to compete for attention." I couldn't help but think, 'Well, she's sensible enough to ruin everyone's lives and loves you all to the point of making me nauseous.' The brothers looked dumbfounded.

He starts nibbling on my chest and starts pulling off my bra away from my chest. I couldn’t take it anymore, I push him away hard and scream loudly and fall off the couch and try to find my way towards the door. He laughs in a childlike manner and jumps on top of me and bites down on my shoulder blade. “Ahhh!! What are you doing! Get off me!!” I scream clawing on the wooden floor trying to get away from him.He sinks his teeth in me deeper and presses me down on the floor with all his body weight. Tears stream down my face while I groan in the excruciating pain that he is giving me. “Please I beg you, please stop.” I whisper closing my eyes slowly, stopping my struggle against him.He slowly lets me go and gets off me and sits in front of me. I close my eyes and feel his fingers dancing on my spine; he keeps running them back and forth humming a soft tune with his mouth. “What is your name pretty girl?” He slowly bounces his fingers on the soft skin of my thigh. “Isabelle.” I whisper softly.“I’m Daniel; I just wanted to play with you. Why would you hurt me, Isabelle?” He whispers my name coming closer to my ear.I could feel his hot breathe against my neck. A shiver runs down my spine when I feel him kiss my cheek and start to go down to my jaw while leaving small trails of wet kisses. “Please stop it; this is not playing, please.” I hold in my cries and try to push myself away from him.

I love diving into free ebooks on Amazon, and the best place to start is the Kindle Store’s 'Top 100 Free' section. You can find it by searching 'Free Kindle Books' or browsing the Kindle eBooks category. Amazon often offers classics like 'Pride and Prejudice' or 'Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland' for free, and sometimes newer authors promo their work for limited periods. I also check out the Kindle Unlimited trial—it’s not entirely free long-term, but you can snag a month free and read tons of books. Don’t forget to look at Amazon’s 'First Reads' program, which gives Prime members a free pre-release ebook each month. It’s a treasure trove if you’re into discovering hidden gems.

I love diving into faith-based literature, and finding free ebooks can be a treasure hunt. Faithlife offers some free resources, but you have to know where to look.

How Do Authors Profit If I Read Ebooks Free?

4 Answers2025-07-09 01:04:27
As someone who’s deeply immersed in the digital reading world, I’ve often wondered how authors manage to make a living when so many ebooks are available for free. The truth is, many free ebooks are part of promotional strategies. Authors and publishers use them to hook readers into a series, hoping you’ll buy subsequent books. For example, the first book in a trilogy might be free, but the next two are paid. Another way authors profit is through ad revenue or sponsorships on platforms that offer free ebooks. Some sites run ads, and a portion of that revenue goes to the author. Others operate on a subscription model, where readers pay a monthly fee for unlimited access, and authors earn royalties based on how often their books are read. Patreon and Kickstarter also play a role, with fans supporting authors directly for exclusive content or early releases. Lastly, free ebooks often lead to increased visibility. When a book gains traction, it can climb bestseller lists, attracting traditional publishers or lucrative adaptation deals. Many authors also monetize their fame through merchandise, speaking engagements, or paid workshops. So while free reads might seem like a loss, they’re often a long-term investment in an author’s career.

Where Can I Read 1984 Ebooks For Free Online?

I've been reading ebooks online for years, and I know how tricky it can be to find classics like '1984' for free. One of the best places I've found is Project Gutenberg, which offers a ton of public domain books. Since '1984' might still be under copyright in some regions, it's not always available there, but you can check Open Library or the Internet Archive. They sometimes have borrowable copies. Just be careful with random sites claiming to offer free downloads—many are sketchy or illegal. I prefer sticking to reputable sources to avoid malware or poor-quality scans.
