Bringing together all lovers of literature on a common platform. This is the ambition of the network social Copper recently launched in the United States. Its founder, Allison Trowbridge, a writer herself, has no shortage of ambition for this project, which begins with the observation that authors and readers have never had a web. social dedicated to a worthy name.
Live broadcasts and discussions with readers
Quoted by our colleagues at Techcrunch, the entrepreneur elaborates on this:
You have Twitch for gamers, Etsy for crafters, Spotify and SoundCloud for musicians. Creators have never had a platform built around their needs that helps them reach an audience and do it in a way that is authentic and engaging, but also creates depth in relationships between people.
And this is what Copper is going to work on and will allow the authors to organize live broadcasts and paid events. Discussion forums with fans may also be offered. To fund these various functions, which will expand over time, the founder intends to create version premium, which will provide access to options additional. Rest of the network social will always be available for free. To succeed at its best son startup, copper open in version beta version for iOS and has a waiting list of 6,000 people, including 3,000 already published authors. This initiative will be interesting to follow, and why not expand it to the whole world and, in particular, to France. Remember that there are other platforms dedicated to literature. To give just one example, we spoke to you specifically in an article published in 2020 by Carry A Book. This app aims to bring literature lovers together virtually or in real. A bit like Tinder, people can get together, but the goal here isn’t necessarily to have romantic encounters, but rather to trade on the subject of books.
