15 Reasons Why You Should Join BookTown

BookTown was started in 2009 on the ning network and since then we've grown to over 1,600 members.  We're currently in the process of transferring all the members from the Ning Network to the new website.

Why is the new website better?

• More bells and whistles, we will have more freedom as to what we can and cannot post.  We'll have the ability to better promote your work and connect our members/residents with the rest of the indie publishing world.

• We can keep better track of our visitor traffic.  Since launching we've received 16,017 total page views and as of 9:34am, we received 870 visitors. We expect this number to grow once we improve our SEO for the new site.
