In an era where content floods our screens and attention spans are waning, the MyFavReads publishing platform has taken a different path – one that values depth, authenticity, and meaningful engagement.

MyFavReads is the quiet revolutionary online publishing platform that’s growing steadily, fueled by our commitment to quality content while offering sensible contracts to our authors and reasonable prices to our readers where they get to experience more than just reading good books – they get to be part of an exclusive online book club.

Quality Trumps Quantity

Pay to read platforms overall are seeing a drop in readership. Readers are tired of trying out dozens (or hundreds!?) of books until they find one that’s worth their attention and money.

Despite this downward trend, at MyFavReads, we are experiencing growth.

How is that possible?

Content matters.

It’s All About Content!

Our team of content editors is handpicking authors who can join our exclusive family of authors, and even then, every novel goes through a contracting process where it gets assessed for quality before it can go premium and is featured to MFR readers.

As a consequence of our process, one year after the MyFavReads platform went live, the number of authors who can post their works on our platform barely crossed a two hundred and fifty mark. It might sound like a lot, but that’s a small number when compared to more than 2k author applications our team processed.

At MyFavReads, our staff stands behind every author and every contracted novel, ready to vouch for the quality of the works we are hosting, and we believe this is the exact reason why our platform is experiencing growth in these challenging times for pay to read platforms.

Quality wins.

Our existing users continue to use our app, while new ones are coming. Our user retention rate is stellar which shows that they like the book they started reading, and they keep coming for more!

Contracting Process

Our contracting process is unbiased and streamlined, as we focus on delivering excellence without compromise.

Every contract application is reviewed by at least two content editors independently who are assessing the quality of the novel with the goal to produce a yes or no recommendation for contracting that novel.

Components of a great novel

Content editors will start by looking at the novel’s cover, title, and synopsis. These 3 attract readers. They need to match the story. The synopsis needs to be tight, error-free, and have a hook.

Next, our content editors will be looking at the chapters.

Common issues flagged are plot holes, typos, capitalization, and punctuation errors, repetition, filler words, and switching tenses, genders, and pronouns.

Not all of them are deal-breakers on their own. If it happens once or twice, it might be a typo. But if an issue occurs more frequently, our content editors will flag it as a worrisome issue.

When the final feedback document has many issues listed, it means that the author either lacks necessary skills to write stories in English language to meet MFR’s quality bar, or the author doesn’t care to edit their work properly. In any case, this wouldn’t be an author whose works MFR wants to host.

Small things like a proper novel title capitalization and naming chapters show that the author cares.

Potential outcomes of contract reviews by two content editors are:

  • No + No = No
  • Yes + Yes = Yes
  • No + Yes = A third CE will review the novel with the role of a tiebreaker.

A novel needs to have two YES recommendations in order to be contracted.

Some believe that our contracting process is strict. However, as the digital landscape we are part of is evolving, we remain steadfast, proving that our focus on Quality over Quantity is the right way to go.

It’s About the Readers

The MFR authors and staff work in a symbiotic relationship to provide top-notch content with the goal to satisfy MFR readers.

The MyFavReads platform is hosting books that inspire, provoke curiosity, and connect emotionally.

As a way to express themselves, our readers can comment on every chapter and paragraph, as well as leave reviews for novels and authors. Every reader can use their free account to respond to existing comments and reviews and engage in conversation with fellow readers and authors directly.

A group of people reading books on the MFR – join them, if you haven’t already!

It’s beautiful to be part of this community that elevates reading to another level and that is what makes MyFavReads readers return daily in search for their next adventure through the books we are hosting.

We Are Not Doing It Alone

We are listening.

Our authors and readers are actively sending us feedback regarding their experiences, ideas, and where we can improve, and we listen. It’s that simple.

Our staff is always feeling the pulse of our community which helps us cultivate loyal authors and readers who appreciate substance over noise.

The growth of MyFavReads might not make headlines, but it’s steady and sustainable.

Next time you stumble upon a gem of a book, and you see a MFR logo on it, take a moment to appreciate the platform behind it – the one that daily chooses Quality over Quantity while moving forward with purpose.
