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

- Appeal to a global audience
