Failed authors may become a thing of the past thanks to the Spine app. This app lets you write and share stories using your phone. However, there's a twist in that the stories you submit can only be five sentences in length. The app lets users submit stories in nine different genres, including action, drama and nonfiction.
The Spine app lets you rate stories written by other authors. In addition to rating other authors, you can also follow them and track the ratings of your own stories. Nearly everything has been simplified by tech, so it seems only fitting that writing and sharing stories has now become infinitely easier. The Spine app is currently available for the struggling writer-friendly price of free on iOS.
