 Grow whilst still keeping organic grassroots as a place for writers to share their work.  Still being accessible to everyone, with a community focus (a non-membership strategy).

  To get brand awareness.  Be recognised as a quality product, which showcases great and unfound talent. 

The high reading level of the target (Age 18-35/Female/Working/Middle to High Class) associated to the fact that literature is potentially linked with life and society constitutes itself in an important factor to gain awareness.  The feature of the tale and poetry of being able to be read continuously can be explored as a quality of the product which enables the upkeep of the Parabola Project.  

The fact that Telltales is accessible to everyone (a community focus) demonstrates its ability and potential to showcases great and unfound talent.

Telltales has a history built (two books published), which can withstand its organic grassroots. 

  The maintenance of the Parabola Project depends on the exposure of the production to the target (readers). If the readers build the meaning of the texts of the Parabola by themselves, they consolidate and legitimate the literature produced by Parabola.  

The literary process operates in basically two phases: Production and its Absorption.   The production depends on the talent and on the willingness of the writer. The absorption depends on the Book distribution and on the meaning of the text given buy the reader.

Focusing on communication actions addressed to the readers.
