Plympton Inc. is a literary studio founded in 2011 by Jennifer 8. Lee and Yael Goldstein Love. Plympton focuses on publishing serialized fiction for digital platforms,[1] and launched its first series in September 2012 as part of the Kindle Serials program announced by Jeff Bezos.[2][3]

Of those original series, the installments were divided into installments of between 8,000 and 25,000 words,[4] and were distributed digitally via e-book reader. New installments were automatically updated on readers' devices.[5]

At the 2013 TOC Conference, Plympton announced its new partnership with DailyLit, a leading online publisher and distributor of serialized books through short e-mail installments.[6][7] DailyLit founders Gigi Danziger (formerly Susan Danziger) and Albert Wenger became investors and advisors for the newly merged company.[8]

Plympton revamped the DailyLit website in November 2013. It is now working with authors like National Book Award winner Julia Glass and Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Haslett.[9] Through DailyLit, Plympton also co-created a project called Recovering the Classics, which crowdsourced covers for books in the public domain.[10]

In March 2014, Plympton launched Rooster, a mobile reading service for iOS7.[11]
