TheBookSailor: Write & Read

The social network for writers and readers. Publish your story chapter by chapter and get read from the very first one. Find beta readers for your manuscript without publishing it. Keep what you read on a bookshelf worth showing off. Free and ad-free. ✍️ WRITE CHAPTER BY CHAPTER Publish your novel as a serial, all at once or scheduling each chapter to go out on time. Readers comment right on the paragraph: you see where the story hooks them and where it drops. Stats for each story: reads and how many keep it on their shelf; with Prime, also how people discover you. Series and universes to organise worlds with several stories. Habits: a daily minimum of reading and writing, with your streak as a voyage. 📕 BETA READERS FOR YOUR MANUSCRIPT Upload your manuscript without publishing it and choose who reads it. Write your own questions and get written reports, not just "I liked it". Follow each reader's progress and read their notes page by page. Your first project is free, with 3 readers. 🤝 READ AND GET READ Every report you deliver opens one more spot for people to read your own work. No paid readers: just people reading each other. 📚 FOR READERS Your bookshelf: Want to read, Reading and Read, with spines or covers and animated seasonal backgrounds. Share it on social media. "Continue: chapter N" to pick up every story where you left it, offline too. Reading calendar: log every book you finish, set a goal and import your Goodreads library. Book clubs with shared reads, polls and meetings. 💬 A COMMUNITY WITHOUT AN ALGORITHM Your wall is built from the people you follow, not from what a machine decides. Comment, react, run polls and share any post outside the app with a link. La Taberna: the forum to ask about writing, publishing and reading. Direct messages, and block or report anyone you'd rather not deal with. 🏆 CONTESTS AND REWARDS Contests voted by the community, with prizes and illustrated cards to collect. And if you like, organise your own. Badges, medals and the Logbook: a stamp every day you come in. 🎨 EDITORIAL PROFESSIONALS Proofreaders, typesetters and illustrators reviewed by the team. Ask for a quote and agree the work directly, with no commission. 🔒 YOUR MANUSCRIPT IS PROTECTED Readers accept a confidentiality agreement, works are read inside the app without being downloaded and, on Android, the app checks the device is genuine before opening a manuscript. 💳 WHAT'S FREE Writing, reading and publishing stories, the wall, the bookshelf, joining clubs and your first beta reading project. No time limit and no ads. Prime is optional: more beta reading projects, spots that grow up to 10, advanced stats, exporting your stories to EPUB, PDF or DOCX, and early access to new projects. 🌍 In Spanish, English, Catalan, French and Portuguese. Join TheBookSailor and stop writing for no one.
