On Exigence
bibli is writing a new chapter for fiction — one of creative
sovereignty for authors and serendipitous discovery for readers.
bibli joins the freedom of self-publishing with the curation of a
traditional publishing house. A modern online publishing platform for
both authors and readers, bibli is a place to create, share, and
encounter stories through a text-first digital interface custom built
for written storytelling.
bibli is author-first and reader-centered — a space beyond the fourth
wall where we can rewrite the narrative of publishing, together.
In Defense of Authorial Intent
bibli is author-first — it foregounds the authors and stories that
traditional publishing overlooks and self-publishing buries:
independent voices, emerging storytellers, and narratives still in the
making.
bibli is committed to uphold authorial creative autonomy — authors
decide how their work takes shape and how it reaches their audience:
serialized or complete, free or paid, shared widely or with a close
community. Every aspect of publication — from presentation to pricing
to connection — remains in the author's hands, all on their own terms.
Think Substack and Patreon, but for fiction.
Publishing on bibli is always free, and each work lives as the author
pens it — shaped by their intent, sustained by their readers.
If you are an author that is interested in partnering with bibli and
publishing your work on our platform — first of all, thank you — and
secondly, please reach out to us via email at
[email protected] as we'd love to
get to know you and publish your work. We are actively coding and
developing the bibli mobile app and platform, so we want to hear from
authors and ensure bibli is truly developed for you, by you.
In Celebration of Reader Intepretation
bibli is reader-centered — a platform of serendiptious discovery
through immersion rather than distraction.
bibli's discovery feed reimagines the scroll itself — not
doomscrolling, but story-scrolling: scrolling through scenes instead
of noise. Here, you don’t stop reading to search for your next book;
you discover your next book while reading.
bibli’s recommendations are shaped by the text itself — by prose,
authorial voice, and content-specific — not by sweeping, generic
categorizations like genre, demographics, or user similarity. The aim
is to craft algorithms that are high-dimensionality, non-reductive,
and non-exploitative, both preserving the integrity of the source
material and contributing toward a user experience of true,
serendipitous discovery.
