We wanted to give authors a way to vet book ideas before they write. And we wanted it to be dead simple. Authors can tweet @inkshares with #idea to submit a book idea. Inkshares creates a new, shareable link for the idea. And Inkshares readers can follow the idea, which stands as positive feedback.

Well said, Jeremy. Everybody is a writer these days and it's getting difficult to sift through all the noise. Nevertheless, there are MANY readers/listeners around, so I am hoping Inkshares can help push the great books to the top of the list.

Good question. It's all about creating an interesting experience for readers. In the end, we want to publish books that our readers "organically" select. Authors should expect to get feedback on and pre-orders for their books without lifting a finger. But we're not there yet. Hopefully this "book ideas" feature will help with that goal. Oh yeah, and we made it easy to submit an idea. Just tweet @inkshares with #idea, something like "@inkshares #idea A disease wipes out humankind. Apes take over the world."

That might be true. But I don't think there are more good writers than readers. And our aim is to make it easier to sift "signal from noise," to use a tech cliché.

I've enjoyed seeing Inkshares mature. They started out as a 21st century book publisher, giving authors better service and a much fairer deal. Then they enabled authors to crowdfund their titles. And now they're changing the writing process itself with instant feedback on book titles and drafts. Jeremy, do you have a roadmap for total world domination? How do you decide what's next in the sequence? Very few startups these days seem to have a master strategy.

Now it only tinder filtered by people who read...

We live a troubled time where there ard more writers than readers

Ha! Future integration opportunity.

Awesome Jeremy!!
