Squirl Authors

The world becomes a bookstore

Add your book's settings to the Squirl platform for free.

In a world where a new book is added to Amazon every 5 minutes and classics remain on the bestseller lists for years, even decades, discovery is every author's #1 issue.

Relevance and real serendipity are hard to achieve without a big marketing budget or an army of social media specialists. Add your book's real-world settings to the Squirl platform once, and you are all set!

No matter if you are a bestselling author or you just wrote your first novel, readers can bump into your book's settings and step right into your story. Every setting becomes a portal into your book and a highly engaging sales opportunity,

Best of all, Squirl is completely free for both authors and readers!

In the future, everything that is ever written about, for example, Trafalgar Square in London, could be visible while one stands in Trafalgar Square.
