Gus Gallows, the proprietor of this site, has been trying to get published for quite some time. Of course, as it is in the writing business, he has gotten a ton of rejections. Has he given up, no! However, he knows that in order for an unpublished author to spark publishers' interest, he is going to have to show some sells. It lets the publishers and agents know that his books are marketable.

With that thought in mind, he decided to set up a means for not only himself to generate some sells of his unpublished works, but one that would allow other authors with similar dreams to showcase theirs as well.

But why leave it at that? This seemed like an excellent opportunity for Authors and Readers to come together to improve the reading experience for all involved. Authors and readers can use this site free of charge to collaborate with other Authors and with the very Readers who would be reading their works.

With those goals in mind, Authors-Pad.com was born. Feel free to explore. If you have any suggestions, we would love to hear them. Visit our Contact Us page and let us know what you think. For more information, visit our FAQ.

I hope you find the site useful and together we can help each other to achieve our goals, or at the very least, read some fantastic novels before they make it into mainstream publishing.
