Hello all,

Please be advised, following a great tip from a couple of people, I am happy to provide a universal link to be able to purchase the book from any location, below:

Many members here will already be familiar with publications made by AuthorWorld Connect. Two books have been published under the AuthorWorld Connect brand. One a collection of short stories and the other a collection of poetry. These are pictured below:

Following the closure of AuthorWorld Connect, BOOKiWROTE is picking up the baton.

The next publication will be Book 3, which will be comprised of a combination of short stories and poetry, all in one book.

Important things to know:

3. Any images submitted along with stories or poetry MUST come with copyright permission. Either the image must be owned by the contributor or the contributor must provide a statement of permission from the owner of the image (will be included in the publication).

4. Any monies generated from the sale of the book will go towards advertising the book. Any monies left over will be used to provide advertising for contributing authors other works. No money will be made from this venture or used for any other reason other than what has been stated. If this arrangement doesn't work for you, please DO NOT contribute.
