Literature Series on Tapastic?

[5tevenm2420]

Hello there.
I happen to have one question, namely about literature here on Tapastic.
On a mobile device, plenty of literature series seem to show up.
On a desktop computer, however, there are none.
How did this happen? Why?
And how could i submit literature from a computer?
The format '.txt' doesn't work.

I remember there was another topic asking about this but I'm too lazy to find it... it's somewhere.

But I think someone said that currently, the book section only appears in app because it's still in its experiment stage. You cannot upload book without being invited to.

I believe as of now Tapas is hand picking the novels and you can't submit your own....yet. I believe they're considering allowing people to submit their own work in due time.

I also believe the novels are for the app only...though I wish they'd reconsider on that. XP

Where would they hand pick the novels from if no-one is allowed to submit them?

I have no idea.
They find them somewhere! XD

Imagine posting your work online, and it's featured on a site you're not even a part of, haha! But for real though, maybe they made novels just for example? I actually haven't looked at any of them yet, so I don't know

They have a deal with fuse publishing, and I think they approach others like the writer of blight cat seaton

You can submit novels for consideration at submissions@tapasmedia.co if you think your stories would fit the platform! Keep in mind that we do have certain guidelines, so not every submission will gain approval.

We have limited development resources, and needed to pick and choose where to launch certain features. It just made a lot more sense to launch novels as an app first experience because the business model we are applying works best on mobile devices.

It was definitely a tough decision - especially since the desktop version of Tapastic is our bread and butter when it comes to feature launching. However, for the past 3 years, the desktop has been a few generations ahead of the app, and so we decided to flip the paradigm for a bit and have the apps take a leap forward.

As Gabby stated

Yes, we're mainly working with publishers but have also reached out to creators (mainly for fun). I've just been a huge fan of Cat's writing and called her up on the off chance that she might be writing something (but really, I was following her blog and saw that she was taking part in National Novel Writing Month).
