B.E. Russell
B.E. Russell is an independent author who believes that great stories should be shared, not restricted by price.
Rather than following the traditional model of selling every book to every reader, Russell has chosen a different path: his novels are made freely available to readers.
No purchase is required.
No subscription is required.
And no reader should feel that they have to pay simply because they want to discover a story.
Books Should Be Read
Russell believes that a book has its greatest value when it is being read.
A novel sitting on a shelf waiting to be purchased isn’t reaching anyone. A book passed from one reader to another, placed in a Little Free Library, left in a community book exchange, or handed to someone who might never have purchased it can continue its journey indefinitely.
That’s the idea behind Russell’s approach to publishing.
Write the books. Give them away. Let readers discover them. Let the stories travel.
Instead of requiring payment from readers, Russell accepts voluntary donations from those who enjoy his work and want to help support the creation and distribution of more free books.
There is never an obligation to donate.
If you read one of his books and enjoyed it, that’s enough.
But if the story entertained you, inspired you, challenged you, frightened you, moved you, or simply stayed with you—and you’d like to support the author—you can make a voluntary contribution.
Help Keep the Books Moving
Donations help Russell continue writing and, importantly, print and distribute additional copies of his books so they can reach even more readers.
Those copies can enter circulation through:
- Little Free Libraries
- Community book exchanges
- Libraries and public spaces
- Book-sharing programs
- Direct giveaways
- Readers sharing books with friends and family
A contribution today can help make another free book possible tomorrow.
One reader becomes two. Two become ten. Ten become hundreds.
And the story keeps moving.
A Different Way to Publish
Russell understands that giving books away isn’t the traditional approach to publishing.
That’s precisely why he chose it.
The goal isn’t simply to maximize the number of books sold. The goal is to maximize the number of people who get to read them.
If a reader discovers one of Russell’s novels for free and later passes it along to someone else, the book has accomplished something that a conventional sale cannot measure.
It has entered circulation.
It has found another reader.
And the story continues.
If You Enjoy the Books, You Can Help Create More
Every book you receive is free.
Every donation is voluntary.
If you choose to contribute, your support helps make it possible for Russell to continue writing, printing, and distributing books to readers who may otherwise never encounter them.
So read the book.
Enjoy the story.
Share it with someone.
Leave it in a Little Free Library.
Pass it along.
And if you truly enjoyed it and want to help put more free books into circulation, consider making a donation.
You don’t have to pay to read the story.
You can simply help make the next story possible.
Thank you for reading.
