moonlit: Daily Literature

Wake up to the prettiest lines ever written by Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, Jane Austen, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and more.

Every day we curate and explore one beautiful passage from literature, provide insights about the book and author, play trivia, and provide direct links to the source material or complementary articles.

Curious to know which authors sniffed rotten apples for inspiration, wrote with crayons, or slept with their rough drafts? Or maybe you want to know who the Realists were, what the Romantics stood for, or what makes something "postmodern". Welcome to the community:)

We survey every culture and perspective, aiming for a balance between contemporary and classic, the canon and obscure fragments. This includes but is not limited to the likes of:
Ursula Le Guin
Franz Kafka
Sylvia Plath
Nikolai Gogol
Kate Chopin
Selma Lagerlöf
Oscar Wilde
Murasaki Shikibu
Marcel Proust
Chinua Achebe
Sadegh Hedayat
Cao Xueqin
Marcus Aurelius
Sophocles
and more.

Every day:
1. Savor - we cherry-pick the most moving passages from literature.
2. Learn - then we analyze them to understand why they resonate, explore what inspired the author to write it, and more.
3. Discover - new books, authors, movements, tidbits, and trivia.

Each day features:
- curated passage
- an analysis, tidbits, and trivia
- link to an article for further reading
- link to purchase the featured book from an independent bookstore
- ability to bookmark and share each post
- access to our evergrowing archives

Moonlit is free to download and comes with a free trial. After the trial period, membership is needed to access the archives and bookmarks. A monthly membership costs the same as one cup of coffee. Moonlit is a bootstrapped labor of love, so your patronage funds the features to come. Feedback encouraged:)

Monthly - $2.99
Annually - $24.99
