Give readers a peek into your story world before they buy the book. Let them meet your characters, learn your rules, and fall in love with the story world itself.
What You Get
Here are just some benefits for authors who want readers to become invested in their story world, not just a single book.
- A fanbase before a sale: readers who follow a world stay engaged across your entire series, not just one title. Story World Showcase gives them a reason to follow you before they've bought anything.
- Your world in front of the right readers: genre readers who love deep lore, distinct magic systems, or richly built settings get to explore your world directly, without competing for attention in a crowded feed.
- Comments that build momentum: readers respond to the characters and rules that hook them. That feedback is visible to everyone on the page, turning an active comment thread into a social proof for your world.
- A direct route to your book: every Story World Showcase entry carries a prominent link to purchase your book, so readers who fall for your world have one click to go further.
Even after it goes live, your entry stays on the Story World Showcase Hub and is visible to new readers every day.

How It Works
Submit the following:
- Your story world's name, and a one or two-line description of what makes it distinct.
- Your key fictional people. Four to five main characters, with a short line on who they are and their role in the world.
- Your world's rules. Magic systems, technology, politics, laws, or any lore a reader needs to orient themselves.
- A brief scene set in the world, up to 500 words, that shows the world in action.
- Your book cover image and purchase link.
Your entry goes live on the Story World Showcase Hub. It remains discoverable in the archive after its featured week, linked from your author profile and your book page on I Turn Pages.
You can showcase a world from a book already published, or one to be published within the next few months. If you are booking a slot long in advance, you can add the publication date to the claim form after you place your order.
Pricing
You can choose from two options, and you have the choice of optional extras.
