This group is for aspiring writers who understand there is no way to write a story other than your way. There are no formulas to guarantee success. Literature is the least progressive of the arts. 20 years ago: if you wrote a story broadly based on Cinderella but in the finale she left the prince at the alter, saying. "I'm very fond of you but I think your sister, the princess, is way hotter than you. . . and could I get her number?" There's no chance your story would have been mainstream published. This group is about techniques that need to be explored and stories that need to be told. Novel writers are not part of the service industry, telling readers the stories they like to hear, the way they want to hear them.

Technology is constantly in motion. Over the years it has changed the way we play our music, watch movies and discover new content. The freedom that technology offers has inspired us to create a company dedicated to providing independent writers with the means to publish their work without the restrictions traditional publishing houses impose. With that idea firmly planted in our minds, BookRix was born.

BookRix was the first book community to give their writers a platform to promote and sell their work on the web as a published eBook. In addition, indie reading enthusiasts are given access to a fast growing virtual library filled with unique content to read and share among their reading circles.

BookRix is free - plain and simple. We believe that everyone has a story to tell and with our self-publishing services, writers can fully explore their potential. On BookRix you can:

We understand that getting your book published is the first step. The second is getting people to read it. Luckily our community is designed to give authors a built-in audience. Being a BookRix member allows you to make new contacts and connections that provide you with valuable feedback on your work. Our community is unique because we offer objective feedback, which can be difficult to obtain from close friends and family.

Most writers would rather not rely on others to be successful.  With that in mind, we encourage our authors to use the Self Publishing Services offered at BookRix. Below are some practical marketing tips that can help aspiring authors gain readers and aid in the success of their eBook sales.
