"Libraro gives the writer a bigger platform to get our work in front of the right people. The involvement of readers on Libraro is the obvious key - for it is the reader who will finally be able to choose the work they like, finally have a say in what gets published and finally be able to identify the very stories they have begun to fall in love with. The excitement I feel, everytime I receive another like or comment on my sample pages on the Libraro website is extraordinary! It not only gives validation to my writing but also offers great encouragement that my story is being enjoyed by people I've never met."

"It's been great to see my work find the sort of readers I'd always hoped for. I always knew they were out there - I just didn't know how to connect. Writing can be lonely sometimes (but no one asked me to write a novel), so the community side to the platform is something that came as a welcome surprise. All the steps you need to take are simple and intuitive - and what's best is that Libraro puts your writing destiny in your own hands."

"In scientific publishing the readers are the determinants of what gets published... an organisation like Libraro could well fulfil that function and feed back."

"I suspect there'll always be a slight disconnect between what the gatekeepers feel should be entering the market and what readers are prepared to consume and spend their money on and their time reading. For literary agents, publishers, and editors to feel they have value, they do have to consider that their opinion is actually better and more useful than those of readers. They're wrong, of course; readers are the ultimate end consumer of the product the publishing industry generates. So, of course, their opinions should be sought, respected, and acted upon."

"I am excited by Libraro. It is opening its doors to an online library of great work that has been buried in an overwhelming slushpile - the imposing obstacle to the traditional publishing route. Libraro seems excited to give me the opportunity to exhibit my book in a forum rich with the excellent work of others and offers it to an active reading audience. I see only winners in this innovative environment."
