Entrelinhas: Site de Divulgação e Publicação Para Autores Independentes

Abstract

The Brazilian literary market presents a scenario that hinders the inclusion of new literary authors, especially independents and beginners. This audience faces not only the devaluation of their works but also restrictions regarding creative freedom, often having to adapt their ideas to the commercial demands of publishers. In addition, the promotion of the works usually falls exclusively on the author, which further limits their reach. Therefore, this work proposes the creation of a digital platform that facilitates the process of independent publishing and provides support to novice writers, presenting itself as a relevant and necessary initiative. The proposed system aims to facilitate access to publishing for beginning authors, democratizing national literary production; to provide formative content on creative writing, supporting the continuous development of writers; to make available an integrated notepad for organizing ideas and notes; and to stimulate interaction between authors and readers, promoting qualitative feedback and contributing to the improvement of works. During the development, it was necessary to enhance knowledge in languages such as HTML, CSS, PHP, and the MySQL database. The identification of the functional and structural needs of the platform was based on readings, discussions with the advisor, and the analysis of the difficulties faced by independent and beginner writers. This survey made it possible to organize the platform’s essential features, such as the registration area, publishing, notepad, and access to formative content. Thus, it is expected to contribute to the appreciation of Brazilian literature and to the creation of a more accessible, formative, and welcoming environment for new authors, through the development of a digital platform that facilitates the publishing, dissemination, and experience gain of independent and inexperienced writers.
