I've been interviewing book NFT projects for over a year and a half, and I've made insightful connections with many thought leaders in the Web3 space.
To mark my first year working with NFT book stories, I've compiled a list of book NFT projects with great concepts that go beyond publishing books in an NFT marketplace.
These projects attempt to revolutionize how we absorb stories and break trends:
Readl Stories
Readl is one of the pioneering projects in the book NFTs department, but their Readl Stories program has set them apart from the crowd.
Readl Stories creates collectible NFTs of a short story, poem or a character’s backstory. It could also be a book prologue or its first chapter.
The focus is on flash fiction, plus audiovisual content. You can distribute your story for free or make it gated content as NFTs.
They’ve recently held a contest giving crypto to the three winnings Readl Stories uploaded on their platform.
In Writing
More than book NFTs, In Writing turns texts into NFTs. These can be poems, text art (think emojis made out of :(o)_(o):) or tweets. They are minted on Polygon and can be shared on social media, with some selling for over 750 MATIC.
Soltype.io
Soltype is the first NFT book platform on Solana, and is similar to Readl in principle. You upload an ePub or PDF file to their platform and mint it.
What sets them apart is their upcoming Storyworlds feature. Storyworlds are like each writer’s personal universe, a place where readers can directly interact with them, earn some of their royalties, or help crowdfund them.
Storya App
Storya's concept is storytelling through books and audiovisual content in Web3. It allows creators to submit a story text and turn it into a storytelling experience translated into multiple languages. The stories are available on Web2 and Web3.
Paragraph.xyz
A bit ironic that I'm using Paragraph.xyz's to write about Paragraph.xyz, but that's how good the Web3 newsletter app is right now. Newsletters are already popular in Web2, and all it would take for established creators to migrate their subscriber list.
Paragraph.xyz’s audience can be easily grasped from the get-go: established creators interested in moving their Web2 content to Web3 and getting the best of both worlds. For that, these creators would need to be already interested in Web3.
