The new system does in fact have something pretty close to WYSIWYG. But for newcomers, WYSIWYG isn't the way to go initially, because it's daunting and overwhelming. And crucially, we need to walk newcomers gently through the first few visits, step by step. That's what you're seeing at the...

The latest in our series of comparison articles has just been published: Royal Road vs. Litopia I hope you find it informative; not just in evaluating Royal Road and its appropriate uses, but also in understanding what the Author Platform® really is and how it can work effectively with other...

We’ve reached a fairly advanced stage of development with the Author Platform. We’re still at beta level, and work continues not quite round-the-clock but… almost. However, the volume of work being done doesn’t at this point result in immediate (and hopefully) attractive new features and...

I have to be rather discreet about this, so no names etc, but someone is looking for an occasional columnist to write about their take on the world of publishing… from their own p.o.v. Let me know (message me) if this is of interest and I’ll tell you more.

Just posted the first of a number of comparisons between Litopia and various other prominent organisations in this area. We start with Wattpad, please take a look: https://litopia.com/comparison/wattpad/ It’s a fairly detailed read, but hopefully will be useful to you. Very happy for any...

Say hello to Simple… our brand-new author page theme, and it's exactly what it sounds like. Simple is now the default free theme (Classic has been promoted to Platform Plus+) and it's the site-wide default. It styles the whole author-facing surface: your profile page, blog, books, podcast...
