Lit Sparks

Lit Sparks was born from a love of reading. During my readings, I would mark passages I found meaningful or beautifully written with small bits of paper and post-it notes, words that had touched me in some way. Reflecting on these quotes and learning from them was an important part of the process. But, I discovered over time that I rarely go back to these markings and many of them go by forgotten without me reflecting on them. From my research, I discovered that I am not alone in this problem. So how do we help this reflection process take place? How do we make sure the markings in the book are looked at again and do not remain hidden and forgotten?

Lit Sparks helps readers capture book quotes that have touched them by turning them into beautiful prints that can be hung or shared with others. The process is simple— choose quotes that inspire you from the books you love, pick a design that makes them shine, share with others, and receive the printed quotes to keep you motivated.

I believe the reading experience can become far more engaging and satisfying. This can be achieved by building micro-communities that naturally connect the digital and physical world. These communities would be strengthened by the creation of an intuitive model for collecting, sharing, organizing and discovering connections from the knowledge and insights gained from reading. This would assure that these wisdoms remain relevant even after the reading is complete.
