Whether you read sacred texts to satisfy intellectual curiosity or out of devotion to your faith, daily interaction with religious works can inspire you in unexpected ways. To that end, we are working on offering a diverse selection of religious texts. In addition to daily installments from the Old Testament and New Testament of the Bible, DailyLit now offers The Koran (Al-Qur’an), which can be read in its entirety in 285 installments.

London Book Fair Rocks!
I’m just back from the London Book Fair, and it’s clear that the tide is turning with publishers much more willing to pursue new digital initiatives. Last year publishers were open to listening but much more cautious about moving forward. This year, something had changed. Publishers are now ready to participate. It was a great fair for DailyLit!
Fieldwork: National Book Awards Finalist
Mischa Berlinski’s FIELDWORK, a National Book Awards finalist, has just been launched on DailyLit. This is the first book we’ve launched with Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and we’re excited that it’s such a notable one. For more detail, please read our announcement.
Going to London
DailyLit is off to the London Book Fair tomorrow to meet with publishers and agents from around the world. Cheerio chaps!
First Serial Release: DailyLit Rules with House Rules
It’s a first for DailyLit. We’ve just released the highly anticipated thriller HOUSE RULES by Mike Lawson as a first serial – prior to the scheduled June 10th publication date for the book. In fact, Dickens’ books were initially published in installments, and we’re happily following in his tradition. Although unlike in Dickens’ time when folks would need to wait a week or month for the next installment, via DailyLit, you can read HOUSE RULES every day or weekday, according to your own schedule (and keep going if you have more time). It’s traditional serialization with a 21st Century technological twist, and we’re excited to be working with Grove/Atlantic.
