Sumbola

edit

Sumbola is a cloud-based transmedia publishing platform for writers, readers and talent. It allows content creators to create, share, and sell their digital creations as either subscriptions or one-off purchases, and also generate new forms of revenue that they have never been able to access before.

We are focused on building a global transmedia community that is completely cloud-based, using no proprietary hardware (i.e., ebook reader), and serves the web’s 2.2 billion users when it goes live. These transmedia creations will primarily be seeded by stories from past, present and future authors. Our cloud-based non-linear editing tools and community of talent will then add new layers of creative content around these stores to create the ultimate transmedia experiences.

Sumbola does not resell the same books, music and films that everyone else sells on the web, we are a DISCOVERY and EMPOWERMENT PLATFORM that is intended to help content creators reach a global marketplace, helping them organize their fans into Sumbola’s proprietary Communities of Shared Interest (CoSI) fan structure.
