By the time of the Movellas.com launch, the Japanese market for mobile short stories had exceeded 82 million, meaning it was becoming the fastest growing form of literature amongst Japanese teenagers. The result of this interest quickly turned a teenage girl from a student writing between classes into a bestselling author with a romance novel, selling 400,000 copies. Movellas.com is now bringing this concept to Europe and USA. The Movellas platform has experienced explosive word-of-mouth growth and with over 85,000 monthly visits, 750,000 monthly eBook downloads users are spending more and more time reading, sharing and publishing content.
