Ver·biv·o·rous: (adj.) The tendency to be a voracious reader, as if you feed on words.

Do you love to read anything you can get your hands on? Coming soon you'll have a new place to find people to share books with.

Unlike other book listing and swap sites, here you'll be able to loan your books, trade them, and even sell them online. Or, if you like, you can just list the books on your shelves to find kindred spirits.

So, what do you want to read today?

Bookstores
http://www.newvoicesbookstore.com [700 clicks]
New Voices Bookstore is now accepting books from self-published authors. This is the first bookstore dedicated to self-published authors. We want to sell your books.

We are not only a bookstore, but a place where authors can gather for their book readings, book signings, and poetry improv.

Our store is located in downtown Manhattan in the East Village -- a historic neighborhood, which has a long tradition of nurturing creative artists. Today the East Village continues innovating with cutting-edge music and experimental theater. In the same spirit, it is becoming a stage for the creative self-published author.

New Voices Bookstore could be your link to the reading public. This is a rare opportunity to place your book in front of over 8 million readers. Readings from your fiction, non-fiction, and poetry works can be arranged and are encouraged in our store or our backyard Literary Garden.

Participate in our 2007 early spring Grand Opening. Your book could also be featured in a window display or in store display.
