FOR WRITERS
Put your stories on the map.
City Pixels gives readers more ways to discover your work: through your author profile, books, genres, real-city connections, Fresh Pixels, and serialized Story Trails.
Choose Add Free Writer Tools during signup. Writers receive every reader benefit too, and existing readers can add writer tools later.

WRITER TOOLS
One account connects the whole author path.
Add free writer tools during signup—or add them later to the same login.
AUTHOR PROFILE
Build a public discovery page
Use your name or pen name, add a biography and public links, then submit the profile for City Pixels review.
AUTHOR BOOKSHELF
Connect approved books
Add published books to your profile and choose the sales page readers may visit.
CITY STORIES
Publish standalone work
Create private drafts, choose a genre and city connection, then submit stories for review before publication.
STORY TRAILS
Build serialized paths
Group numbered installments into a public Story Trail that readers can enter, follow, and continue over time.
DISCOVERY POINTS
Readers do not have to know your name first.
They may find you through a city, genre, book, story title, Story Trail, Fresh Pixels listing, author profile, or a story someone saved with a Pixel Pin.
PUBLICATION REVIEW
Draft privately. Publish after review.
Author profiles, books, stories, and Story Trails remain private until they are submitted and approved. That protects readers, writers, and the quality of the public platform.
EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Discovery is not purchased approval.
Author tools and City Claims do not buy ratings, editorial approval, or guaranteed ranking. The annual City Claim remains a separate optional sponsorship layer.
