Antigua and Barbuda – AuthorsandWritersHub.com, an author’s directory and resource for writers and authors in Antigua and Barbuda and the West Indies, has launched its online platform to support and promote authors in the region.

The website showcases published books by authors in the region and provides helpful tips and resources to guide them through a successful book publishing and marketing journey.

Book Publishing Requires Teamwork

The author’s directory doesn’t just spotlight authors. It will connect authors and visitors to the site with national and other qualified regional service providers. In that vein, they also invite local professionals to contact them to make their presence felt on the platform. The directory is setting up a comprehensive listing of publishers, book printing companies, editors, illustrators, graphic artists, book trailer producers, and the like who are from or live in the region to make their presence felt on the platform.

Website administrator Mrs. Teri Bethel believes that authors must be visible.

Even if they are not listed on an international platform like Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com, search engines need to be able to find them in brick-and-mortar stores or even for direct deliveries. An author page complete with a bio, author photo and cover image on this platform will help to make that happen while strengthening our reading communities.

“There is strength in unity,” Mrs. Bethel noted. “We can unite as a writing community while helping to build a literacy industry that can be supported throughout the region.” AuthorsandWritersHub.com is a vibrant directory and author’s center dedicated to facilitating and supporting the rich literary talent of the countries in our region.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Storytellers

The platform is also a launchpad for the storytellers of tomorrow, providing writing tips for teachers and their students. Featuring the works of young regional writers, the site offers a place for the students to improve their craft and share their writings.

The administrator is calling local schools, book clubs, writer’s groups, and bookstores to join them in this mission to support the building of a strong literacy community. The site developers believe the writing environment can encourage youngsters to foster character development.

Promoting Family-Friendly, Nation-Building Literature

The author’s platform believes in the power of positive storytelling, which is why it supports reading materials that strengthen families and support nation-building. The site welcomes family-friendly fiction and nonfiction materials that align with its core values and stand firm in its commitment to quality.

Join the rising number of authors at www.authorsandwritershub.com to be part of a growing movement that celebrates and supports the literary talents of the people of the West Indies.

Whether you are an author, a service provider, an educator, or a book lover, there is something on the site for you. Explore, connect, and help write the next chapter of the region’s literary story.
