Written: Read, Collect, Resell
Support authors directly
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Own the books you buy. Support authors directly. 90% of every sale goes to the writer. Resell limited editions when you are done with them.
On Written, you buy books direct from the writers who wrote them, actually own every copy, and read in a custom ebook reader built for long nights. The authors here publish their own work, set their own prices, and keep 90% of every sale. The book you buy stays yours.
Read it tonight, reread it in two years, return to it at 3am whenever you need to. When you are done with a limited edition, you can list it for resale. Until that moment, no one can take it away.
You might buy a book to read once and move on. You might buy to keep. Or you might buy a limited edition early, watch the print run sell out, and resell your copy years later when it has become genuinely rare. The whole creator economy lives inside Written. Authors get paid on every resale, you get a real asset, and books move through the hands that want them.
Every purchase goes straight to the author. 90% of every sale, plus royalties whenever you resell their copy. You can finally support a favorite author the direct way, no retail giant in the middle pocketing the bigger half.
Written reads like a bookstore run by someone with very good taste and zero corporate oversight. The shelves carry writers you'll be the first to hear about, the kind who become everyone's next favorite, one reader at a time. They also carry indie names with real reach, including the author of a book that ended up in Dua Lipa's book club. And every so often, a household-name writer drops a custom edition available nowhere else, because Written treats their work with the kind of care publishers used to give writers they believed in.
You will find romance, romantasy, fantasy, thrillers, horror, literary fiction, memoir, poetry, and original work from writers who started in fandoms. Currently in English and Spanish, with more languages on the way.
Follow your favorite writers inside the app. Read their updates, vote in their polls, comment on their posts, and talk to them. Conversations between you and the people whose work you love, in chronological order, before algorithms got in the way.
The reader itself is custom built and quietly good at its job. Full support for modern EPUB3 as well as PDF. Fonts, sizes, line spacing, page colors, highlights, and bookmarks. The cherry on top.
Read what you want. Own what you buy. Collect what is rare. Support the writers behind every book.
