Spinebreakers, a social networking for bookworms

Penguin launching a social network, Spinebreakers for teenaged bookworms to keep them interested in reading.

Spinebreakers

Spinebreakers already exists as a content website, but does not have any tools which allow its users to communicate and interact about their shared pastime.

Spinebreakers is a site where teenagers write about books and authors.

Anna Rafferty, managing director of Penguin Digital, who founded the site three years ago, told The Telegraph: “I set up the site as I felt there were fewer and fewer places talking about books in a way which appealed to teenagers.”

Rafferty also admitted that the company had not “shouted enough” about Spinebreakers, since its launch and would do once it re-launched as a social networking site within in the next six months.
