Ether Books Ltd

Ether Books is a new mobile social reading platform, connecting readers and writers around the world. Ether publishes "made for mobile" Quick Reads straight to smartphones, the fastest growing digital reading device on the planet. It is available on Android and iOS devices. Ether’s Quick Reads of <6,000 words “fit” can easily be read in 15 minutes or less. Choose from Ether’s huge selection of high-quality free and paid Quick Reads: non-fiction, fiction, short stories, poems, articles, essays and blogs, in genres such as Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Erotica, Biography, Contemporary and many more. One-shots, serials, or first chapter previews—Ether has it all. Discover talented new and bestselling writers right from your pocket. Ether Books is also a social platform. Within the app, readers can follow their favourite writers, start discussions, and leave ratings and reviews. Writers can follow back and engage directly with their readers. Full social integration with Facebook and Twitter means that writers can promote their own work and readers can share ratings with friends and followers. Ether works directly with writers, publishers and rights owners. Over time we will publish ebooks in serial format, and with our upcoming First Chapters programme publishers will be able to reduce their slush pile by having excerpts evaluated based on ratings and feedback. Ether supports ePub and Onix standards. We hold non-exclusive rights, allowing you to publish with us and elsewhere.
