Protagonize reaches a niche market of fiction aficionados, prospective authors, students, baby boomers, as well as a diverse set of users who work in both technology and the arts. Protagonize fosters a community of highly engaged users, appealing to readers, writers and those who appreciate good quality web design, and attracts a high percentage of return visits from users reading and writing story fragments on a daily basis.

Protagonize's target market is still evolving. The site has come a long way from the simple concept it was rooted in — allowing authors, amateur or professional, to collaboratively tell stories without imposing too many boundaries.

Signing up for Protagonize is free! We are currently home to more than 3,000 registered authors from over 65 different countries, many of whom are actively writing in our community. In addition, we have many times that number of users that solely read the content on the site, and we're growing daily.
