Do You Like Reading Bountiful Books? Welcome!

We’re glad to meet you here. We’re a band of people who read bountiful books – and write them, too!
If you’re like us, you’ve been frustrated by how hard it is to find the kind of reading material you like: bigger-than-life books in the grand tradition of the Literary Fiction classics, and ambitious Fusion Fiction that pushes the envelope of modern publishing by crossing several genre lines.
We all love reading language that paints pictures inside our heads, and we’re not bothered if we occasionally have to pick up a thesaurus or dictionary, to learn some new vocabulary we found in a great book.
We want to read stories that make us think and feel: to laugh, cry, get mad, have hope, be happy, surprised, satisfied.
We’ve often been so disappointed by modern fiction, that we’ve thought, “I could write better than that!”
And many of us felt driven to do so – but you don’t often find our novels in bookshops or on best-seller lists. That’s why we’ve come together here.
So whether you’ve arrived eager to explore the broad horizons of challenging tales that will reveal new heights and depths of meaning, or to get help with finding new homes in the hearts of readers for your own imagination’s beloved, beleaguered characters –
Welcome to a Renaissance of great reading, at the Masterpiece Marketplace.

How it Works

  • Only Literary Fiction or Fusion Fiction (multi-genre works) accepted, (books need not be listed as such in their assigned BISAC category)
  • Indie-published, small-press and traditional publisher books eligible
  • All books must be complete and published in a paper edition (E-books, PDF, E-Pub, other digital formats, audiobooks, and paid serial publication are optional)
  • Authors upload cover art, synopsis or back-cover blurb, trailer link, links to applicable retail outlets (blog, print-on-demand e-store, ebay, online retailers, independent bookshops, etc.), author bio and sample chapter (optional)
  • Direct-from-author outlets must offer a secure secure transaction option (such as PayPal). Check, money order or credit cards also may be tendered for direct sales, but at buyer’s and seller’s risk
  • Readers browse and purchase from their preferred retail outlet
