Laterpress enables authors to rapidly develop web-native book versions and sell directly to readers with no platform fees on your direct sales.

## How Do Readers Find My Books?

There are multiple approaches authors use to direct readers toward their published works. You can share links on [social media](https://www.laterpress.com/business-of-writing/social-media-for-writers), in email newsletters, on your own website, or through word of mouth.

## What Is the Reader Experience Like?

When a reader clicks a link to your book, they arrive at your book’s cover page. From there they can read a free preview, purchase access, or subscribe. The reading experience is web-native — readers can customize fonts, spacing, and themes, and their reading progress is automatically saved.

Affiliate links and recommendations are optional community features. Authors preferring direct-sales-only models can deactivate these capabilities anytime through account settings. When enabled, readers can discover new books through recommendations shown after finishing a story or while browsing their bookshelf.
