For authors

Your readers don't just turn the page.
They walk through the door.

Upload your own novel and InLibrus reads the whole thing, builds it into a story readers can actually step inside as one of your characters, and sends every reaction straight back to you.

From manuscript to playable

Three steps, then it's live.

Upload it

A title, your name, the year you wrote it, a short description, and the manuscript itself: paste it in, or drop a .txt or .md file. Nothing fancier than that.

InLibrus reads it

It works out who the reader can actually play, what this book's own natural rating is, and pulls your real dialogue and key scenes so no one puts words in your characters' mouths.

Set it private or public

Keep it to yourself, or put it on the shelf for every reader. You can flip that switch, or take it down, whenever you want.

What you get

What to expect once your book is in.

Private, or on the shelf

Private means exactly that: only you can open and play it. Public puts it in front of every InLibrus reader, and just needs a contact email on file, since that's where reader feedback goes.

Built from your book, not a template

InLibrus reads the whole manuscript to find the characters worth playing, the moments worth living inside, and your book's own voice, so a reader stepping in meets your story, not a generic one.

Feedback, straight to your inbox

A public book lets readers leave a quick rating and a note. It comes to you by email, privately, never posted anywhere public, and you can just hit reply.

Lock any dial you care about

How closely a reader has to follow your plot, how far their choices are allowed to ripple, how strictly a character keeps to your book's voice, how dangerous it gets, how fast it moves, how explicit it's allowed to be. Lock any of these and a reader can't override it.

One dashboard, every book

See every book you've published in one place: public or private, how many people have played it, which characters they gravitate to, and every piece of feedback you've been sent.

You keep everything

It's still your book. InLibrus never sells it, never redistributes it, and never uses it to train anything. Take a book down whenever you want.
