Fresh Ink is a small team based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 2019 by a writer, a publisher, and a software engineer with a shared desire to connect writers with readers and readers with good stories.

Hello Product Hunters! 👋 I’m super excited to share what we've been working on, and thrilled to bring a new way for authors to test and iterate on their work! We’ve received over 4,000 stories and novels so far, and we’re now ready to open the doors to readers. How It Works • Our app matches you with 20 stories to start, you can swipe to save or skip a story. • We use your swipes, opens, drop-offs, ratings, comments and feedback to help decide both your next matches, and who else should be reading the stories you’ve read. • Authors get a detailed report on their work, readers get good quality writing for free. We aim to keep 80% of your matches as rated, high-quality work, and 20% as brand new, for you to be one of the first to discover. It’s very fun to use, and the writing is fantastic, give it a try - I’d love to hear your thoughts! Coming Next Our vision is to become the go-to way for authors to see their work published, to be the first step after a final draft is ready. Publishing is a tough business, even more so for smaller houses and literary magazines. We want to help them thrive. Our next phase is a match-making platform between authors and agents, publishers and editors so that wherever an author chooses to publish, fresh.ink can help.

Hey I love this. I have a poetry book, how would I become a part of the writers side?

@edisonjoao6871 Thanks Edison! Authors can submit for free at https://fresh.ink We're currently only taking fiction, although we do have plans to expand to poetry and non-fiction in the future.

@matt_brindley2 please keep me updated. Interested. Finishing up my poetry book

Hey guys, I tried this and it's very cool! Congrats to the team. Also, lovely design! Here is some feedback, hope it helps: - It would be nice to add support for the iPad and iPad Pro (my case). - Remembering parts of the long vertical text can be hard. Maybe adding some dots on the side scroll line with hotspots or sections could be helpful (or section dividers every once in a while). - A search feature could be really useful.

I'm also an iPad user and would love iPad support.

@alelepd Thanks for your feedback, Alejandro! Great suggestions. We're testing out our tablet apps right now. We have some smaller quirks to fix, but hopefully it won't be long.
