Roundly

Live audio rooms for book communities and fandoms.

Roundly is a live audio room for books and fandoms: readers can step into a conversation about any story they follow with one click, no download, straight from wherever they're reading. I'm co-founding it with Aydin Ilhan, my co-founder on StoryHero, built on the observation that the devotion inside fan communities on Wattpad, Kindle, and similar platforms has nowhere to go in real time. Authors can host their own Roundly and bring in superfans or voice actors to perform scenes, while listeners follow along live or catch up via transcript. We're in the POC stage and testing the core experience now.
