For readers
Ten minutes. One writer. No commitment.
10 Minutes To... is a low-risk way to encounter writers, genres and stories you might never otherwise find. Listen first. Then decide if you want more.
How it works for you
No sign-up. No purchase. Just a story.
Traditional book marketing asks you to decide about an unfamiliar writer from a cover, a blurb or an ad. 10 Minutes To... reverses that. Every episode is one indie author, performed by a human voice, never longer than ten minutes — a complete short story, a scene, a prequel, a character moment, or another piece chosen because it gives you a genuine feel for that writer's work.
If nothing connects, you've spent no more than ten minutes. If something does, it might lead you to a novel, a series, a backlist — or a writer you read for years.

The stories remain. The playlists change. Discovery continues.
A single episode can belong to several playlists at once — genre, theme, mood, place and audience all at the same time — because readers rarely discover books in only one way. You and other listeners will be able to build and share your own playlists on platforms that support them, so an episode keeps finding new audiences long after it first airs.
