Welcome to Authortrek.com, the website that seeks to discover and celebrate new authors.

We have a variety of resources that are free for authors to use. For instance, if you’ve done well in a competition or are going to make an appearance at a spoken word event, then please let us know via our Author Success Stories site. Please let us know if you’ve had a book published, even if it was self-published. We’re very happy for you to post your press release at Author Success Stories.

We run two paperback imprints, Punked Books and Grimoire Books. We’re not looking for new novelists at the moment, but authors do have the chance to have a story published in one of our anthologies via Authortrek Short Stories.

We discover new writing talent via the Authortrek Short Stories site. Once you have registered on the site, you can post your story. Registration is free.  Indeed, access to the whole of Authortrek Short Stories is free.

Each short story will have a voting button. So, once you have finished posting your story, forward the story link to your friends and ask them to read and vote for your story if they like it (i.e., don’t be shy!) The winning author will be named the Authortrek Writer of the Month.

If your story gets over 30 votes, then you may be asked to participate in our new scheme to publish short stories in an anthology, a free copy of which will be sent to each successful author.  

So that you can see what short stories on the site will look like, we have published a copy of Guy de Maupassant’s excellent tale The Necklace.
