Welcome to Books in Your Pocket
A curated discovery hub for authors who sell direct.
What is Books in Your Pocket (BIYP)?
Books in Your Pocket was created to make it easier for readers to discover wonderful authors across many genres—while ensuring every sale goes directly to the author.
We are not a traditional bookstore.
We do not process book sales.
We do not take commissions.
Instead, BIYP is a beautiful reader discovery space where readers can explore genres, meet approved authors, and visit each author’s own store to purchase directly.
