About Bervet
For years my books lived on old laptops and thumb drives.
I'd written them, finished them, sent them out, and heard nothing back. Not a no. Silence. That's how traditional publishing answers most writers, and after enough of it, the books just stay in the drawer.
Eventually I took the plunge into self-publishing. The writing turned out to be the easy part. Getting a book in front of readers who'd never heard of you, without paying for promotions that don't work or falling for the "marketing services" that fill every indie author's inbox, was the hard part.
Bervet is the place I wanted then. Authors list their own books here for free, and readers can try the first chapter before they buy. Books rise by how readers actually read them, not by who paid most. And readers and authors talk to each other, in the same room.

What Bervet doesn't do
We don't pick the books. Any author can list a book they wrote, and the rules are the same for everyone. The "Most finished" ranking comes from anonymous reading numbers, and nobody can pay to be in it. We don't sell your data, sell your email address, or take a cut of your book sales.
Is it free?
Yes. Listing a book, chapter previews, advance copies, the forum and the guides are all free. Some store links may earn us a small commission, which costs you nothing.
