Author Showcase is an all-in-one plugin for authors to show off their work on their site.

The Author Showcase plugin was written by an author, for authors. It was created in order to make it easy for authors to display their books, along with the buy links, in a number of different formats.

You can include the title, subtitle, cover, author name, series name, and blurb, as well as any number of links to various websites where each book may be bought.

You can then display your books on a page or post using a shortcode, or in a widget. All the messy HTML is taken care of, and each book is nicely formatted (and it should use your theme’s CSS).

  • Multiple display options using shortcodes – choose icons or text links, change the icon size
  • Advanced sidebar widget included
  • Column, Grid, List, and Single display modes, controlled by shortcodes
  • Include Amazon and Goodreads reviews for each book
  • User manual available
  • Developed with the help and feedback of the Kboards Writer’s Cafe community!
