Nowadays, everyone gets a platform and an opportunity to show their skills like dancing, singing, drawing, etc. with the help of social media applications and the internet. It doesn’t matter if their skills are professional or not but the important point here is that one gets the opportunity to show their talent to the whole world using those social media platforms. Similarly, writing is also one of the skills that a person can have. Not every writer is a professional one, some people write just for having fun, or some cherish writing as their hobby. But how could one know if he is a good writer or not and for that he needs to get a platform to display his work so that he can improve his skill and get motivated for working more hard in the future. Also, to be a good writer one should also be a good reader too. So, here we are with a special platform not only for all the enthusiastic writers but also for the readers out there. This platform will help the writers to showcase their talent to the world and will keep them motivated to work hard as a writer and also will make the readers happy by providing them with amazing stories
My Book World is an android application developed as a part of Skill Up 2.0, an event organized by DSC VJTI and COC VJTI.
