Plympton Inc. is a literary studio founded in 2011 by Jennifer 8. Lee and Yael Goldstein Love. Plympton focuses on publishing serialized fiction for digital platforms, [1] and launched its first series in September 2012 as part of the Kindle Serials program announced by Jeff Bezos. [2] [3]
Of those original series, the installments were divided into installments of between 8,000 and 25,000 words, [4] and were distributed digitally via e-book reader. New installments were automatically updated on readers' devices. [5]
At the 2013 TOC Conference, Plympton announced its new partnership with DailyLit, a leading online publisher and distributor of serialized books through short e-mail installments. [6] [7] DailyLit founders Gigi Danziger (formerly Susan Danziger) and Albert Wenger became investors and advisors for the newly merged company. [8]
Plympton revamped the DailyLit website in November 2013. It is now working with authors like National Book Award winner Julia Glass and Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Haslett. [9] Through DailyLit, Plympton also co-created a project called Recovering the Classics, which crowdsourced covers for books in the public domain. [10]
In March 2014, Plympton launched Rooster, a mobile reading service for iOS7. [11]
