BookLive's New Genre Entertainment Platform 'StellaJean' Collaborates with 'Inkspired', a Creative Platform Focused on English and Spanish Speaking Regions

BookLive Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and President: Tadashi Awano), a group company of TOPPAN Holdings Inc., announced that its new entertainment platform "StellaJean," Japan's first platform where users can enjoy video works, novels, and scenarios in one place, has begun collaboration with Inkspired (Headquarters: Luxembourg, CEO: Garo Vargas), a creative platform operating primarily in English and Spanish-speaking regions.

As the first phase of this collaboration, 10 popular works distributed on the creative platform "Inkspired" will be translated into Japanese and distributed on "StellaJean."

About the Collaboration

"Inkspired" is a creative platform where emerging writers and creators can discover, write, and publish creative stories. Championing a creator-first approach, it focuses on supporting creators' activities, mainly original works, and operates globally with multilingual support including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish, and Korean. "StellaJean" also aims to create a borderless world of stories and share emotions spun by individual imaginations globally, as a place where anyone, professional or amateur, can freely express themselves and encounter countless sparkling emotions.

This collaboration was realized through the resonance of both companies' shared vision: "delivering creator talent across borders to the world." As a first step, we will begin translating highly popular overseas works from "Inkspired" into Japanese and publishing them on "StellaJean."

Future Outlook

This collaboration is not limited to translation and publication of works. In the future, global contests co-hosted by "StellaJean" and "Inkspired" are planned, and we will promote the creation of an environment where talented creators can thrive across borders.

Furthermore, starting with this partnership with "Inkspired," "StellaJean" plans to proceed with similar collaborations with platforms in other Asian regions, including Taiwan. In the future, we aim not only to import overseas works but also to actively promote "StellaJean" original works to overseas platforms, serving as a bridge between Japanese creators and global readers.
