What we found
The New Authors Showcase was established in 1997 as a low-cost platform for unpublished writers to display samples of their work online, with the agency explicitly stating it no longer submits work to publishers in the traditional manner. The site itself recommends Kindle as a superior and free alternative for writers seeking exposure.
