Where books and their people find each other
Echo starts as a reader. It's becoming a place for new authors to publish and grow a fanbase, and for book lovers to share what they hear. This page is the roadmap — I'll tell you plainly what's in the app today and what isn't yet.
A home for new authors
Post your book directly in Echo, pick the narrator voice it deserves, and grow a fanbase of listeners. Author profiles, updates, and follower feeds are already taking shape in the app — the publishing platform for new writers is where it leads.
A community of book lovers
A shared library where readers submit books, rate and review them, build reading lists, and discover what other listeners love. The community library exists in the app today — the social layer around it grows with every release.
Full books as audio files
Turn an entire book into a downloadable audio file you can keep on any device, share, or post — imagine publishing a public-domain classic to YouTube with a narrator you mixed yourself.
Writing a book? Get in early.
I'm building Echo into a place where new authors publish their books, reach listeners, and grow a fanbase — without gatekeepers. Join the waitlist and tell me you're an author; founding authors will shape the platform.
What you can listen to on day one
Echo has built-in search across Project Gutenberg and LibriVox — tens of thousands of public-domain classics, free to convert into audiobooks. A few places to start:
Essential Science Fiction
Wells, Verne, and the foundational works of sci-fi — all public domain, all free.
Gothic Horror Classics
Shelley, Stoker, Poe, and other masters of the macabre.
Victorian Adventures
Sweeping tales of exploration and mystery from the 19th century.
Philosophy and Thought
Foundational texts in philosophy, ethics, and political thought.

The community is just getting started — which means the people who join now get to shape it. We'll email you when Echo hits Google Play.
