Scriptus Books is an independent publishing venture – a home for intelligent fiction and non-fiction.

We have published a small number of books for lovers of good writing and good stories, but this website is primarily devoted to publishing essays, short stories and reviews- all accessible for free download.

The publishing industry is dominated by a handful of huge conglomerates targeting the mass-market best seller. This quest for the next blockbuster squeezes out interesting, off-beat or adventurous writing and new authors of fiction or essays find it increasingly difficult to break into print.

Scriptus was established to counter this trend. We invite you to browse through our selection of essays on political or literary themes, short stories and reviews, as well as our books.
