About this app

The social network for the literary world.

Writers, readers, and publishing professionals all in one place. Here, you don't just talk about what you write: you find someone who will actually read it before you publish it.

That's what sets it apart from any other social network. On other accounts, you finish a chapter. Here, someone reads it and tells you what's wrong.

💬 YOUR WALL, WITHOUT AN ALGORITHM
Share how your work is going and receive comments and reactions from people who write and read.
Your wall is built by the people you follow, not by what a machine decides. Follow writers, readers, and professionals, and discover who's worth reading. Mentions, hashtags you can follow, and images in posts and messages. Save posts, quote and reply, and share anything outside the app with a link. Direct messages with your readers, with an author you follow, or with the proofreader you requested a quote from. Block or report anyone you'd rather not interact with.

📕 WHAT NO OTHER NETWORK HAS: READING
Upload your manuscript in PDF format and open a beta reading project.

Your first project is free, with 3 readers. No subscription is required to try it.
Choose your readers or let the platform assign them.
Design your own questions and get helpful feedback, not just a "like."
Track each reader's progress in real time and read their notes within the manuscript, page by page, as they read.
Statistics for each project: how many finish, where they drop out, how long it takes.

🤝 THOSE WHO READ, ARE READ
Reading isn't paid for: each report you submit opens up another spot for someone to read your work.
This is how the community sustains itself. There are no paid readers: there are people who read each other.
Comment as you read, without waiting until the end. Review library books and build your reputation as a reader.

🎨 EDITORIAL PROFESSIONALS
Proofreaders, layout designers, and illustrators with public profiles on the Publishing Portal.
Request quotes from multiple professionals at once and compare responses and turnaround times.
Each professional undergoes a review by the team before their profile is made public, so you know exactly who you're hiring.

🔒 YOUR MANUSCRIPT IS PROTECTED
Readers agree to a confidentiality agreement before accessing the manuscript.
Works are read within the app and are never downloaded to your device.

On Android, the app verifies that it is running on a genuine device before opening a manuscript.

🏆 AND MORE
Publish your books in the public library with a free sample.
Contests with limited spots.
Gems, XP, levels, community ranking, and hall of fame.
Your year in a nutshell: everything you read, wrote, and achieved.

💳 WHAT'S FREE
Create your account, your feed, your library, read other people's manuscripts, and your first beta reading project with 3 readers. No time limit.

Prime (€9.99/month) is optional: more projects, up to 10 slots with reports, unlimited books and forms, statistics, early access to new projects, priority access to your feed and library, and a Verified badge.

One account, three ways to participate: writer, reader, or professional. Switch roles whenever you want.

🌍 Available in Spanish, English, Catalan, French, and Portuguese.

What’s new

Manuscripts can now be read in the browser.

• Beta reading was app-only until now. You can read the manuscript from your computer, with nothing to install.
• Your copy carries your name, as it always did; now we say so while you read.

And two fixes:

• A project linked in a post said "this no longer exists" to everyone but its author.
• Reacting to a chapter: tapping "Love it" opened another menu instead of reacting.
