    The app provides a new way for authors and publishers to reach and
    excite audiences and immerse them in their content. To celebrate the
    launch ustwo, in collaboration with Shortfire Press, is making
    available works from three leading British authors to showcase –
    novelist and non-fiction writer Richard Beard, award winning Nadifa
    Mohamed and poet and illustrator Laura Dockrill.

    PAPERCUT transforms simple prose into an interactive, multi-sensory
    reading experience. Content within the app presents short passages of
    text at a time and triggers relevant video, animation, image sequences
    and sound content related to the narrative. Moving away from the text
    heavy, standard page turn functionality, the reader can simply and
    elegantly scroll through a true interactive experience with seamless
    swipes.”
