I’ve built something new for writers.

I want you to love it – and I want you to make money doing what you love.

DripRead is a publishing and reading platform with three differences:

First chapters are free for readers, but they have to pay to unlock each subsequent chapter. Think of your story as a slot machine. They can also choose to binge-read the whole book for a discount instead of paying per chapter. Up to them. And up to you to make it addictive.
As a writer, you will have access to reader drop-off data so you can see exactly where they stop reading and then tighten the story to keep them hooked.
When the reader pays, the split will always favour you, the writer. Even more so if you are part of the founding cohort of writers.

I’m looking for 181920 books before I launch to readers.

All genres welcome, erotica too.

This is a beta – real, unpolished, still being shaped – but already working end-to-end. I’m looking for 20 writers willing to get in early, publish something, and tell me what’s working and what isn’t. In exchange, when we go live, your book’s revenue will be yours alone for the first 6 months.

To apply, email anita@dripread.co.za

We’ll set up a discovery call so I can demonstrate DripRead, answer your questions, and see whether your book is a good fit for the launch.
