Ashley Durrer, Director of Business Development at Instafreebie, is passionate about art forms of all kinds.
Ashley developed her passion for the arts when she worked for the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. As a volunteer with the Accessibility Department, she continues to enrich the experiences of visitors.
Now an entrepreneur, her focus has been on accelerating great stories and big ideas. She believes there is a fan for every story and every idea.
Ashley has been honored to work with great authors (and considers many of them friends) as they continue to work together in innovative ways.
In today’s interview, we will go through some of the services provided by InstaFreebie and all the steps required to be part of this innovative platform-building community for authors.

You can visit Instafreebie’s Get Started section or upload your epub book file or upgrades/extra content to get started (for fiction you can upload alternate endings and for non-fiction, you can upload other information valuable to the readers as well as chapters or the entire book for the giveaway).
3. After you upload content, create a campaign, and start sharing yours with your audience!
