Q. I've recently read a book that came out just a few days ago. I am more than sure there hasn't been a WIKI (not wikipedia) page made for this book yet and I'd love to create one. I attempted to, bu failed miserably.
I'm not exactly sure how to create the page to make it took just right... ex:
Make the main page look like this: http://officialevermore.wikia.com/wiki/Evermore_Wiki
Make a character page look like this: http://glee.wikia.com/wiki/Quinn_Fabray
If anyone can help me out, please let me know!

Answer
When creating a new wiki on Wikia, it's best if you already have the main articles planned out. Have as much description as possible about each character, and have many articles as you can. And don't forget to include places, special objects, important plot-points (significant battles, etc.), and any other information that one can learn about the world in which your book is set. It's best to plan out and write as many articles as possible about all of these things before you undertake the project of creating a wiki.
Here is a page that shows you the basic steps on how to create a Wiki:
http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_create_a_new_wiki_on_Wikia
I am fairly certain that if you create a wiki, then you are immediately an administrator of that wiki. If you are, you can access the Theme Designer page to design the layout and theme of your Wiki. Here is a link to a quick guide about the Wikia Theme Designer:
http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Theme_designer
Here, you can change backgrounds, colours, wordmarks, displays- anything really- about your wiki's appearance. It even has step-by-step guides to help you along the way.
---------------------
**OPTIONAL**
The links above are somewhat basic. If you want to actually customise a large variety of things about the positioning and the placements of your wiki, then it is essential that you have knowledge of computer coding languages- the ones that designers use to design the layout of their websites. This language is known as Cascading Style Sheets- CSS for short. Learning CSS isn't very difficult, depending on how much previous knowledge you have. If you have none, then I recommend these free courses for you:
http://www.itechcollege.com/courses/CSS/
http://www.w3schools.com/css/
http://friendlybit.com/css/beginners-guide-to-css-and-standards/
Trust me, while they may look difficult, they are not. If you spend half an hour every night of the week, then you'll probably have everything down in about two weeks. It's surprisingly easy once you get into it. But this is not necessary AT ALL, and simply something you may be interested in.
Good luck with your wiki.

Answer
The Gutenberg Project transcribes the full text of books that are no longer under copyright. http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page
Popular fiction and books with more recent publication dates are not available online as that is against the law.
Authors write to make a living, then get publishing deals that benefit the publisher, too. There is no reason to post the entire text of a copyrighted work online and give it away for free.
