It's your dream to become a published author. Are you ready?

There are plenty of excuses not to write a book: "My writing isn't good enough." "What if I do all the work and no one likes it?" And the most common, "I don't even know where to start."

These thoughts can derail your writing efforts—or worse, keep you from even trying.

Meanwhile, the dream won't let go. You can already feel that finished book in your hand. Hear all the compliments from readers. See a stranger turning the pages of your novel, captivated by your words.

Welcome to ChapterBuzz, where you can connect with like-minded writers—who love helping each other out—to start your climb toward literary success.

Join us today and let's turn your dream into reality!

Post your first chapter today.

The magic starts when you post your first chapter.

Once three readers have "Buzzed" your chapter, your book becomes BuzzWorthy, and we start showing it off around the site. Now, even more readers can discover it!

Your Feedback Circle is here to help.

Your Feedback Circle is a group of friends, readers, and even editors—that you've hand picked—who will help you develop a great novel.

They can give you feedback, "Buzz" your chapters, and show their support by giving you ChapterBucks, which are credits you can use to publish your book when the time comes.

When you're here, you're famous.

Fame Points help you stand out on ChapterBuzz, and you can earn them just by writing, reading, and staying active on the site.

The more Fame Points you earn, the more you'll be in the spotlight here. Fame Points also help you climb the Ladder of Fame...from Newcomer to SuperStar Author!

How to build your author platform.

As readers discover your books and become Fans, your audience and author platform will grow.

Your Fans can't wait to find out what happens next, so don't leave them hanging! Every time you post a chapter, we'll let your Fans know.

And when you publish your book, we'll let them know where it's available so they can buy it.

We're all buzzing about your Buzzing book.

As you climb the Ladder of Fame and your books move up the ChapterBuzz Chart, you may find yourself featured in our community e-zine, Books & Buzz Magazine.

Our subscribers love hearing about up-and-coming authors and newly published books!

Win an award while you write.

Every March and October, you're invited to join us in the 10K Novel-Building Challenge. In addition to cranking out 10,000 words, you could also win an award for your work-in-progress.

Just think, you could be an award-winning writer before you're even published!

Publish with confidence.

When it's time to publish your book, you'll know readers already love it—no finger-crossing or second-guessing required, so you can publish with confidence.

We make publishing on the Amazon/Kindle platform easy and affordable.

The best part is, you can redeem the ChapterBucks you've been collecting for one of our complete publishing packages.

This is how The Martian became a book, then a movie.
