Are you a reader who wants to read a particular type of book? Have you already read everything in your preferred genre and want something new? Or, do you have a preferred genre that no one is writing in for some stupid reason? Then tell an author what you want.

You want a spy novel? Great. Should that spy novel take place in Antarctica? Fair enough. Do you want your spy to come from Antarctica? Weird, but okay! Give us a snapshot of what you're looking for, and maybe some kindhearted book writer person will put that together for you and for other readers just like you! And if you see another idea you really like, then upvote it! The more upvotes an idea gets, the more likely someone will turn it into a novel (or novella or short story, if you prefer).

And authors? This is a free-for-all! You see a topic you like, go write it. I already have my idea bank pretty solid, so I'm good. But, if you let me know you've taken on a requested topic, I'll announce it on the roadmap and post your website for readers to follow you. And if you're another author who wants the same topic? Well, great! We have how many spy novels taking place in cold environments? Maybe you all can start a trend!

The moral of the story here is that writers and readers should talk to each other and give each other what they want, no matter how many different types of stories this may yield, and this is just as good as a place to encourage that discussion and production as any.

So, don't wait. The sooner you write your ideas, the sooner someone will write that story for you.

And be sure to let others know about this page so that the ideas can keep flowing.

Just remember to allow for some flexibility in your idea. For best practices, consider explaining your idea by telling us:

-Genre / Subgenre / New Subgenre

-Length (Novel, Novella, Short Story, Series)

-Character Type (Male, Female, Hero, Antihero, Villain as Protagonist, etc.)

-Character Profession

-Premise or Idea (in one or two sentences)

-Whatever else is important without outright dictating what happens (the author should still ultimately make it his or her own story)

Remember that to get more upvotes, you should be more specific, but to get more book results, you should limit the details to allow each author to write the book the way he or she best sees fit.

Oh, and for you self-help seekers, this is not limited to fiction. Plenty of nonfiction writers want to know your pain points. Tell them!!! In fact, tell them right here.

Okay, now get to it.
