Indian self-publishing platform for stories in regional languages.
Pratilipi understands Indian readers like no other app. I've discovered brilliant amateur authors writing serialised dramas in Marathi that I would never have found in a bookstore. It's free, the variety is endless, and the writer community is warm and encouraging.
Free, diverse, vibrant community
Pratilipi lets me read endless stories in my mother tongue, written by everyday people, and that's something special. The selection of Tamil and Telugu serialised novels keeps me coming back nightly. The reading interface could use a dark mode toggle that actually sticks, but otherwise lovely.
Pratilipi has a RevWala Trust Score of 62/100 (Average), based on 5 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5. Reviews are mixed — read recent ones before deciding.

I've read hundreds of stories on Pratilipi across genres, from romance to mythology, all in my regional language. The way authors release chapters keeps me eagerly waiting for updates like a TV serial. Supporting independent Indian writers directly makes it even more rewarding.
Endless content, serialised releases
As an aspiring writer, Pratilipi gave me a space to publish my stories in Hindi and reach actual readers. The community feedback and comments keep me motivated, and the writing tools are simple to use. Watching my follower count grow chapter by chapter has been incredible.
Easy publishing, supportive readers
Pratilipi struck the perfect balance between being a reading app and a publishing platform. I both read and write here, and the experience on each side is thoughtfully designed. Seeing regional literature thrive online thanks to this app genuinely makes me proud.
