About us
Bookground
is the winner of the "Renew The Book" Pioneers prize 2022
Welcome to Bookground!
Welcome to Bookground, a mobile app for the passionate book lover.
​
Bookground arose from the founders' frustration, who as passionate bookworms always wanted to know more about the writers, the content, and everything related to books after reading a book.
​
Unfortunately, their search for information only brought more frustration each time. This gave them the idea to create a central place where readers can enjoy their book even more, even after they have finished reading it.
​
With Bookground, there is now a new way to experience books. Reading is no longer a one-way street.
Readers can now be part of the experience, get a glimpse into the creation process of their favorite book, and connect with the writers.
Our ambitious ideas have led to winning the Pioneer Prize from Renew the Book in 2022, an award for the most creative and original initiative to shape the future of publishing.
Vision
Our vision is that the magic of reading doesn't stop at the last page of a book.
​
Our goal is to make reading books a modern and interactive experience that appeals to (young) readers, writers, and publishers.
​
We believe that there is a greater need for reading than ever before, in an era of rapid information, interactive platforms, and TikTok.
Mission
Our mission at Bookground is to make reading books appealing again for young people and everyone. We want to create a reading experience that appeals to young readers but will also delight adult readers.
​
Our interactive platform offers photos, videos, background stories, and the opportunity to connect with the writer.
​
We offer writers the creative freedom to tell an even more complete story and to engage with readers. Reading is a great way to develop your intellectual skills and increase your social success.
We hope that our app will inspire readers to continue exploring the wonderful world of books.
