Author Directory: Get Listed on Skriuwer
Most author directories are lists of names nobody browses. Skriuwer works the other way round. It is a directory of books sorted by genre, visited by readers who want the next thing to read, with the author's name on every page. Getting listed is free, takes one form, and covers up to three of your books.

What a directory listing includes
- ✓
Up to three books per author, each with its own page, cover, description, and buy button. All free.
- ✓
Sorted by genre, not alphabetically by author. Readers browse the history page or the mythology page and find your book among books they were already looking for.
- ✓
Every entry is checked by a person before it goes live. No scraped listings, no dead links, no books that do not exist.
- ✓
Independent, hybrid, and traditionally published authors are listed the same way. We list the book, not the publisher.
- ✓
A badge you can put on your author site that links back to your listing.
How to get listed
- Open the listing form and enter your first book: title, buy link, cover, short description.
- Repeat for a second and third book if you have them. Each gets its own page.
- We check the entries by hand and email you the live links and a badge, usually within 2 business days.
Free listing, optional placement
The listing itself is free and permanent: your own book page, an Amazon buy button, and a badge for your site. Free pages stay out of Google on purpose.
Want readers? A placement puts your book inside one of the best-of articles that bring the traffic, and opens your page up to Google. One-time fee per book, no renewals. Buys the spot in the article, not the listing.

Common questions
Is this a directory of authors or of books?
Of books, with the author's name on each page. There is no separate author profile with a biography. Readers find the book first, then the author, which is the order they buy in.
How do I get listed in the directory?
Fill in the listing form with your title and a buy link. Add a cover and a short description if you have them. We check it and your page is usually live within 2 business days.
Can I list more than three books?
Three are free. Authors and publishers with a larger backlist can talk to us about placements, which have volume pricing and put each book inside a best-of article.
Do you list authors from outside the US and UK?
Yes. The site is in English with sections in German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. The listing form is in English. Books in any language with a working buy link are welcome.
Does the directory entry show up on Google?
Free listing pages stay out of Google on purpose, so they do not compete with the best-of articles. A placement opens your page to Google and puts your book inside an article as well.
