Web novel translation startup Genesis Studio announced today that they are hosting a summer writing competition for global indie writers. Original stories submitted on their website genesistudio.com in English, Chinese or Korean will be eligible to win a total of $4,500 at the end of the competition period. This comes at the peak of controversial AI author popularity, where Genesis Studio seeks to promote higher quality human work on their global web novel platform.
About the Global Competition
“Good stories have brought humanity together since the dawn of time. Every writer’s story deserves to be heard, no matter where in the world they’re from,” said Razeen Mehdi, CEO of Genesis Studio. “That’s why we’re hosting this competition: to connect authors and readers across the globe.”
“Growing up, Korean web novels were my escape. These massive, sprawling worlds made everything in Western fiction feel small by comparison. Building this platform is my way of making sure indie authors don’t have to fight through translation barriers, piracy, and broken distribution just to share those worlds globally,” said CTO Daniel Holmes. “AI is our tool to make that effortless from day one, but the worlds the authors create are all human. This competition is us putting our money where our mouth is.”
