AUTHORSdB

As a newly published author, I am always looking for new social media sites to join and other websites to network with more Indie Authors and more readers.

I came across AUTHORSdB and thought I would share this with my readers as well as other Indie Authors.  It appears to be a great place for authors, so please take a look and let me know the pros and cons of this website. 

From the  AUTHORSdB  website:

At AUTHORSdB we've formed the only database of authors, including social media, book listings and much more, for today's mine-field of thousands of aspiring and established writers.


We are a dedicated website that helps authors for free.   

Why free? We have a few Angels who simply want to see authors flourish.  Readers no longer have to Google from several different websites to find out more about a particular author – it’s all here.
