Dear Friends,

This brief post aims to inform you about a new initiative that I announced in an article titled What If We can Transform Readers into Micro-Writers recently. I provided compelling ideas to convert readers to writers with small steps, nurturing guidance, and strong encouragement, leveraging a supportive community.

I proposed two scenarios to consider:

1 – How about avid readers write a few lines about their favourite authors and post them in a short story in 100 to 150 words, just as long as an average email or a microblog.

2 – How about if they add those paragraphs for, let’s say, five favourite stories and submit a long story in 500 to 1500 words.

Readers Hope is a unique publication designed for aspiring writers who are interested in becoming experienced authors. The audience for this publication is avid readers who want to become writers. The publication has a clear roadmap and a supportive team of volunteer editors. We share the vision and mission of “Readers Hope”, explaining how to transform avid readers into prolific writers using a supportive and innovative publishing tool.

Even though raw content is not everyone’s cup of tea, especially frowned upon by elite writers, there is a tremendous value for new writers who require finding their voices with support. Readers Hope is an entry publication to give voice to absolute beginners. Thousands of readers want to express their thoughts and emotions, but they don’t know how and where to start.

I introduced the concept of MVP (a minimally viable product), which means progress, not perfection. So MVP for a new writer could be one paragraph testimony about a favourite author or a paragraph of review for a favourite story. But it can also be about any topic and life experience. 

I deliberately do not mandate any style rules for this pub. Instead, I recommend starting with tiny pieces using raw content and improve gradually. By providing flexible governance for this pub, I only request to adhere to platform policies refraining from harmful materials such as defamation and hate speech.

No one was born a writer. But, anyone with a bit of time, effort, interest, dedication, and support can be a blogger, storyteller, writer, and finally, a published author. With tiny steps, you can start a long journey. With excitement in this journey, your small steps can gain momentum and grow bigger and faster.

Why not post a paragraph now introducing one of your favorite writers or their stories? This simple introduction of a writer may be the first step to this exciting journey. Testimonials matter to writers. They are valuable assets to develop your relationships. Later, you can write stories on easy topics reflecting your daily life. You can write about anything and everything without any worry.

You have nothing to lose yet a lot to gain. Once day your stories might go viral, you can be a top writer, and can triple your income. Then power of freelance writing can bring you a flexible lifestyle. This entrepreneurial journey can be fun and lucrative. So, please see this post as a serendipitous encounter knocking on your door. 

While many genuine writers want to share their authentic content, there will always be some trolls who try to damage the good intentions of honest people. Thus, I established a powerful editorial team who volunteered to support writers and protect the platform from harmful content. I’d like to share commitment and advice from dedicated editors from their pen. We have more editors who will share their perspectives soon.
