The one big book launch - ensuring great books get read

Authors have now been chosen to launch their books simultaneously at one, highly-publicised event in London on June 3rd, 2015. This event showcases titles from writers publishing traditionally and independently, and will celebrate great books from emerging authors writing on the theme of Inspiring People and Places.

On this page, find out more about the event and how you can get involved.

Reserve your free ticket to the One Big Book Launch here.

Hundreds of thousands of books are published every year, and for the indie author or small press, it is becoming increasingly hard to get your book noticed over the masses.

So how can we ensure that good books get the attention they deserve?

At CompletelyNovel, we’re always looking for ways to provide our authors with further opportunities. Last year, we launched One Big Book Launch – an event that harnesses the power of collaboration and enables emerging authors to get the attention they deserve. The launch was a huge success and we have been inundated with calls to host another launch in 2015.

Together, we can give your book the launch it deserves and kick-start your marketing in style – however you’re published.

One Big Book Launch winners have now been announced. See here for full details.

Whether you are a reader, writer, book blogger, member of the press or industry professional – tickets for the One Big Book Launch 2015 are free of charge and can be reserved via the Free Word Centre, here.

Join us and hundreds of guests from 6pm at the Free Word Centre in Farringdon on 3rd June 2015, for the most exciting event in the literature calendar. Soak up the festival atmosphere with a glass of wine, chat to the winning authors and buy signed, new releases from the newest names in literature, mingle with avid readers and listen to extracts from the ten winning books.

Tickets are limited to 200 guests and are guaranteed to sell out fast. Reserve your free ticket here. We look forward to celebrating with you!
