Launch interesting facts & stories pages

What does this feature do?

This feature will allow authors to share interesting facts and stories related to their book. It is aimed at nonfiction authors (although some fiction authors will be able to use it). This is another way we are working to help authors sell their books as experiences rather than products.

For readers, this feeds their curiosity and wonder. And they can follow those feelings into a book if they wish.

What are we adding?

Adding this page to relevant bookshelves around Shepherd.

We will add interesting facts & stories pages to relevant bookshelves on Shepherd and start promoting them internally. We also have an optional trivia setting so that we can make it a bit more of a question-and-answer process for readers.

And here is how we lead that into the author's book.

Backend + collection system...

We need to build this entire system into our backend and figure out how to collect the facts and stories from authors.

Why is this update important?

• This is a new format that will delight readers while helping authors to meet the most likely readers for their book.
