What it does

Curating the world's best stories.

What are you thinking of writing? Have a working title? Can you describe your idea in 20 words or less? Feel good about your idea? Upload a sample chapter (if you have one).

Ask readers to help you improve your draft and build a following along the way. Many authors will stop at this step, which is perfectly fine. When and if you're ready to turn your draft into a book, we'll start to sell pre-orders. You'll run your pre-order campaign from Inkshares.

    http://instantclick.io/ It seems the internet architecture won't bring us instant websites anytime soon. So here is a hack. I released this JS library last month (today is version 2.0 release, fixing v1.0's rough edges), it makes use of HTML5's pushState and preloading to make a website instant. It works like this: before clicking on a link, you'll hover over it. And there's a delay of 200-300 ms between these two events. InstantClick uses this delay to preload a page, when you click on a link it will display instantly in most case. (You can test on the website.) That's…
