🚨WRITER BEWARE🚨
I’ve just gotten an email from a new “self-publishing platform” called Written (written.app), which is making suspiciously extravagant promises about the benefits they offer to authors.
After further research, this is just “upload your book with us and we’ll make it an NFT :)”
There is a “thesis” that you can read right on their website if you’re interested in looking for yourself at the business model of their grift, but if you’d like to save yourself the trouble, I’ve pulled out some of the highlights of the receipts over on Bluesky.
TLDR: I would not touch this platform with a ten-foot-pole. This is not a book-selling platform, this is a Coincidentally Book-Themed NFT Platform.
Oh hey, it’s this shit again. It feels like every few months there’s a new app promising better royalties to indies and it turns out to be some king of NFT grift.
Also that thesis is bonkers. The hell are they dragging Ao3 into it for?
