## Introduction



  

    

  



**This is StoryDrop.** A revolutionizing web platform for publishing books (with `.pdf` file type) online.

### Why do we need it?

Many manuscripts from authors, writers and creators are often rejected by publishers day by day:

The StoryDrop platform allows everyone publishing their **OWN** story and (e-)books effortless and hurdles-free.

### How does it work?

The platform maintainer or the person/team/company who/that is responsible for running the platform review(s) newly uploaded books in the `uploads/new/` folder. After a fast and open verification process the books are going to be published online at `uploads/verified/`.

*No more publishing companies or dastardly editors that are greedy for money!*

### Vision

> **StoryDrop makes book publishing more simplified and more democratised.** *- [Suriyaa R. Sundararuban][suriyaa] (creator of StoryDrop)*
