Our current site features translated novels. Now we are taking the next step and working to build a community of English speaking authors! The 2020 Visions contest is intended to celebrate new authors and excellent writing. TapRead's 2020 contest for online fiction! Requirements TapRead is built for longform fiction that is meant to be read in short bites! Stories should keep a fast pace with lots of payoff without losing long-term potential. We recommend learning from two formats that have mastered this: - TV Show Style - While a season usually has a major plot, each episode has it's own tension. This style focuses on lots of minor arcs while building to big moments. - Serial Novel Style - Rather than one big story with lots of small arcs, this style uses medium-sized, high tension arcs. The arcs are tied together by themes and characters, rather than needing to play into one big conflict. - At least 5K words of content submitted before 23:59, 16th Dec (PST) - Content must be your own original work and adhere to TapRead's terms of service - Fluent English skills Judging Standards - High user engagement - Fast paced stories with long-term potential - Attention to continuity, grammar, and pacing - Appeal to a global audience
