Dust Off Your Unpublished Writings!

Do you have any piece of writing sitting in your drawer, virtual or physical, that you thought you would never publish? Yes you do…

It does not matter if it is just a few poems, an amusing story written about a trip or event, a short piece that would (and maybe will) do very well in long-form, an isolated short story too short to put on Amazon, anything that could be enjoyed by a reader. As writers, we all have such things somewhere, destined to remain unseen and unloved. That is, until now…

Ourboox platform is the ideal way to give these bits and pieces a chance. Use is free for all, writers and readers alike, there are no formatting skills required, it just takes five minutes to upload a book, add a few more minutes to pick up illustration from free image banks, hit the “publish” button and hop, in less time it takes to write this, you have a digital book that can be shared with all on various social media.

Ourboox launched only 3 weeks ago, there are already 80 books uploaded and browsing through them will give you a very good idea of what can be turned into a book.

Children can use Ourboox to create a digital book with their drawings, grandma’s recipes can find a new life with pictures of the results taken in your own kitchen and use to illustrate the recipe, a fun way to create a recipe book, there is no end to the potential use of Ourboox.

So join Ourboox and have fun!
