Bookmarks are a great way to spread the word about your book and can be useful during author signings, giveaways and when your book is appearing at a book fair or conference.

But even if you don’t have a cover yet (or don’t want to use one for the bookmark) there are many ways of designing a bookmark that are pretty easy and best of all free.
