How it works

From finding a story you love to writing your own, in three steps

1
Discover
Browse free stories by genre, get recommendations that learn your taste, or ask Quill, our book guide, for something to match your mood.
2
Read
A reader that fits any screen, remembers your page, and works offline. Build streaks and shelves as you go.
3
Write
Publish your own book chapter by chapter, hear from readers through ratings and reviews, and see where they stop.

The reader

Read the way you like, anywhere

Pages that fit your screen, text you can size and style, and a night theme for after dark. Ink Atlas remembers your page, and you can save books to read offline on a plane, a train or a bad connection.

A reading habit that sticks

Set a daily goal, keep your streak, and ask Quill when you don't know what to read next

Streaks and daily goals

Read for a few minutes a day to build a streak, with a gentle reminder if it's about to end.

Meet Quill, your book guide

Tell it your mood and get suggestions from the catalogue, shown as cards you can open straight away.

For writers

Write it, publish it, see who reads

A calm editor that keeps a copy of your work as you type, and a page that shows how readers find and finish your book

Your next favourite story is waiting.
