Our story
BingeBooks is an online community for fostering book discovery. Created by authors and book lovers, our independent venture has been built from the ground up to help people find great books, to connect authors with new readers, and to celebrate and reward everyone who reads.
Our goal
Our mission is to make it easy for readers to discover great books and find new authors they'll love — and to share their discoveries with other book lovers.
Our big idea
We’re creating a reader hub where people can discover and binge on books in a friendly, supportive, enjoyable environment. In doing so, we’re also building an author platform where authors can create and manage their own author pages and showcase their books at no cost. We’re starting with fiction before moving into nonfiction.
Our company
We're a Delaware C Corp. that came into existence on Jan. 1, 2020 through the efforts of more than 120 author-stakeholders along with a talented group of data scientists and academics. We launched our initial site, authors.ai, in June 2020 as service to help authors write better books with a breakthrough A.I. technology called Marlowe.
With BingeBooks, we're building a site that expands on the core need of readers — to discover great books — in new and exciting ways. Readers can start to easily “binge-read” opening chapters, browse through book carousels, and create and discover book lists on a wide range of topics.
What’s ahead
Down the line we plan to use A.I. technology to supplement reader recommendations on BingeBooks in helping to surface and highlight great titles that match readers' preferences.
