Company Summary

StoryShop is like an app store for authors. Rather than apps, however, writers can form a unit called a StoryVerse. A StoryVerse allows the release of quality, daily content, which in turn provides several benefits to authors including subscription revenue for live stories and data for story building and marketing.

Our company charges $10/mo to each author who uses the platform (currently 1,100). We also take a 30% cut from reader subscriptions.
