Hi friends!
This fabulous forum is for authors and readers who, for one reason or another, are not on Amazon. Amazon controls up to 70% of market share for book buyers, publishing about 7500 books a day, including AI generated books. 

Of the statistically remaining 30%, still numbering in the millions, many wander aimlessly in a swirling tempest of confusion and despair on a quest for quality books. Let's bring authors and readers together. 

So, if you are an author NOT on Amazon, please feel free to drop off your promotional book links, social media contacts, bio, poetry, excerpts from your WIP or published work, ideas, reading recommendations, reviews, etc. Remember to add a link to your book cover too. It's the gray squishy thing to the right of the YouTube button.

If you're a reader - this project will grow dynamically, so check back often to easily find great reads in line with your tastes and principles. You can even post requests for the genre(s) you like. 

Like most forums, this one won't upload a pic from your computer. It has to have an url (I have mine on Cloudinary for now). If it's glitchy and the image won't show up at first, which happened to me, try, try again. 

RULES:
No spamming
No hate
No porn or exteme violence
No soliciting for money
No "book marketers"
And DO support other authors on the forum

Here are my links:
