What is Dreame?
Dreame is an exciting new reading app that caters to the English-speaking South Asian market for female readers between the ages of 18-35. Operated by Stary, the reading app originally started in Singapore and quickly became the top app of its kind in Indonesia and the Philippines.
We're Proud of Our Writers!
PublishDrive writers increased digital book sales by 85%, distributing to thousands of stores worldwide.
It’s also one of the top stories reading apps in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and India. Within its first year, their app was downloaded over 3 million times in the Google Play and Apple app stores, and it has an average of 1.2 million monthly active readers. It is ranked as the second highest reading app by revenue.
How Does Dreame Work?
This reading app is unique in that it has an episodic model. Instead of buying the entire ebook at once, readers pay with virtual coins to unlock each new episode of content. Books are divided into 1000-word episodes.

Benefits of Distributing Ebooks to Dream
If you distribute your ebooks wide (compared to Amazon exclusivity), then it’s important to explore all possible avenues to sell your work. With Dreame, you can take advantage of their lucrative episodic model to earn thousands of dollars for new releases, monetize your backlist, and reach a new market of voracious readers.
The episodic model is also more flexible; since readers can pick and choose which chapters to read, it’s a less risky investment for them.
It’s also great for cultivating super fans. Their reading app is already performing well in genres like Romance, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy, and it’s a great way to keep your readers wanting more with your binge-worthy content. And with their promo opportunities, you can boost discoverability even more.
