Write more. Market less.
Grow your audience by leveraging the power of online community through Verso.ink.
We aim to connect discerning readers with the best emerging fiction by showcasing the work of high quality indie and hybrid authors.
Think of it like a farmer's market for exclusive fiction authors. As authors come together to share short stories, first chapters, and excerpts from longer works, the whole community benefits!
Unlike other fiction-sharing platforms, we use a curated system that enforces community standards, a democratic voting process to upvote favorites, and an editorial review that promotes the most notable work.
Additionally, you can connect with your new readers by including links to your existing social media channels, email newsletter sign-ups, and direct links to your work on Amazon.
All for absolutely free!
We're looking for a select number of authors who are serious about building up an exclusive community they can be proud to be a part of, helping them to worry less about marketing and focus more on what they do best; writing!
