This year, the World Book Day site has launched a Young Adults app for IOS and Android. The app will contain featured stories from these young adult authors:
Patrick Ness (writer of The Knife of Never Letting Go)
Josephine Angelini (author of Starcrossed)
Will Hill (Department 19)
Sarah Alderson (Fated)
Books written by these authors will be featured on the app, along with books from five other writers, 4 of whom are yet to join. The app will be powered by the writing community Movellas, a site where aspiring authors can write and upload their own stories to be read and reviewed by members of the Movellas community. The members were asked to vote for their favourite movella, and these are the stories to be featured on the app alongside the nine stories written by the internationally acclaimed writers.
In addition to this, the movellas site will soon be announcing a competition for one more story to be added to the app. So go and check out the movellas site, and keep an eye out for the announcement of the competition, and maybe you could be the writer of the final story to be featured on the World Book Day App.
