Readerling

For readers who love their authors, and authors who love their readers

Follow authors you love to hear from them as they write and release your new favorite books.

How it works

Follow your favorites and stay close to the work

Pick the authors whose books you love. Hear from them in their own words — releases, pre-orders, invites to beta-reads, snippets, chapter milestones and more.


Find

Discover authors by genre, by your favorite tropes, or just browse the authors that are here.

Follow

Follow an author, a favorite story world, a series you can't wait to see continue, or a book you're already counting the days for.

Hear

When an author posts an update, you get notified. No algorithmic filtering, no incentives for engagement bait. Just a direct line to the moments your authors choose to share.

Free

Sign up free, follow as many authors as you like, and stay close to the work. Be the first to hear about a teaser, a pre-order, a release, or a milestone.

Why Readerling

A direct line, in the author's own words

Other social media platforms are driven by engagement algorithms that decide what you see based on what will keep you scrolling. Newsletters get lost in your inbox. Readerling is a different kind of feed. Authors post, readers see it. Readerling has a direct pipeline from Scribi Writer's Studio, an end-to-end writing software for authors. Following them in Readerling is about as close to being in the room with them as you can get.

In order

Posts arrive in the order authors share them. You can configure which authors, worlds, series, or books you want push notifications for, or browse your feed at your own pace.

In the moment

Pre-order opens. New book lands. Author hits a chapter milestone. Your notifications light up the same minute they post.

In their voice

The kind of update where an author finishes a chapter and posts "this one's going to wreck you." From them, in their voice, in the moment they wrote it.

Growing with you

Readerling is a growing platform for readers who love their authors and authors who love their readers. New features arrive as the community grows. Keep an eye out.

For authors

Stay close to your readers

Authors using Scribi flip a switch and have a free Readerling page within minutes. Post updates from your editor, surface pre-orders, and reach the readers who chose to follow you — in their feed, in your own words.

A landing page that's yours

Pick a layout, pick a theme, publish from Scribi. Your books, your worlds, your bio — in a place that feels like yours.

An update channel of your own

Quick hype, a chapter milestone, a snippet, a pre-order announcement. Two clicks from your manuscript to your followers' feed.

Pre-orders that land on time

Track pre-order deadlines in Scribi, surface them on Readerling, and get a quiet nudge as the date approaches.

Why we built it

Authors and readers used to have a direct line — a card in the back of the book, a letter, a signing. The internet was supposed to make that easier. Instead, every platform put an algorithm between them. Readerling is just that direct line again, in the simplest form we could build.
