O'wango by Vanessa Awong

About the project

Hello Sponsumers and welcome to the O’page of O’wango! 

Let’s introduce ourselves, O’wango (www.owango.com) is the next generation of digital-ONLY publisher. We publish fiction (and non-fiction soon) O’stories in instalments and each instalment is about 15-minute reading. You get the chance to read the first couple of instalments for free, and then if you like it (and I know you’ll get hooked) each instalment will cost less than 50p. At least with us no need to buy books before realising the first couple of chapters are just boring! 

As we’re using digital platforms, we want to offer you more than great words and exquisite stories. Our experiment is to add a soundtrack to every instalment... yes music and reading! If you’re too disturbed by the music, you’ll be able to turn it off (But come on... who hasn’t worked/studied while listening to music?). 

Where do we attract all these artists? Well, they are all rising talents and they are working hard to deliver you the catchiest stories with the perfect match music. Do not hesitate to give them feedback on our website. 

The website has been built, but we want to make our stories available across digital platforms, from laptop to smartphones, to iPad.... and we need your generous backing to build the mobile application of O’wango. However, if you’re not a smartphone owner, we will make sure you get the story either via our website or other digital means. 

As you are our first backers, we want you to vote for the first story that will be published via our future mobile application. Just post a comment on sponsume and give us the name of the story you prefer. The story that gets the most votes will be the lucky one! 

So if you support us, you’ll back not only our venture, but upcoming talented artists and a publishing revolution. How cool is that? 

O’wango is made possible thanks to: 

Editors: Vaness, Terry, Sally, Saskia, Candace, Jen and Curtis 

Writers: Elra, Craig, Essaa and Damon 

Musicians: the RejectKid, Victoria, Tony M, Hutch and Danielle Web Designer: Fid Emotional support: Tony and the family (not the Sopranos ) 

And finally financial Backers: YOU of course!! 

We are no traditional publishing house, it’s time for a change and yes we can!
