Operation Ebook Drop

It’s a group of Independent Authors, led by American Independent author

Edward C Patterson, offering their books in electronic format to deployed troops.

Our small way of supporting the men and women who risk their lives in warzones around the world. Operation Ebook Drop support US and UK deployed troops, but if you think troops from your country should also be included then please email Ed and ask (link at the bottom).

Authors and Publishers

If you’re a Smashwords author or publisher, email Ed and tell him if you’d like to offer free ebooks to participating troops.

You’ll need to set up a 100% discount coupon via your Smashwords account so you can email the link to your books and the coupon for each title to the troops. If you’re unable to do this then please speak to Ed to find out how you can still take part.

If you’re not yet a publisher with Smashwords (why not?), you can find out more by visiting How to Publish with Smashwords.

Ed will set you up on the program and soon you’ll be sending out your books to troops deployed overseas, both US and UK troops. It’s a great feeling to be able to take part in something like this.

“If you’re overseas and away from your home and loved ones, your dependence on reading might increase – and so we a gifting you ebooks for Kindle, Sony, iPhone, Blackberry etc.”
