Singtel and China Literature ink digital literature deal

Singtel users can subscribe to content from China Literature’s content creation platform.

Singtel and online reading platform China Literature have tied up to collaborate in digital literature services and content platform businesses as the popularity of online literature grows in Southeast Asia.

At an MOU signing, both companies agreed to cooperate in areas which would allow Singtel application users to access and subscribe to content from China Literature’s content creation platform, Webnovel. Additionally, Singtel’s digital payment services will be integrated with China Literature’s digital applications to facilitate payments for paid content.

The Singtel-China Literature partnership will also cover areas such as support for original content, and nurturing of writers, translators and editors, to enhance the development of quality content in Southeast Asia. Both parties will explore content adaptation, production and promotional activities on Singtel’s video platforms.

“Southeast Asia is one of the key markets for online literature and Singapore is a confluence of Eastern and Western cultures,” Wu Wenhui, co-CEO of China Literature, said in a statement. “The strategic cooperation between China Literature and Singtel marks a new chapter of synergistic development of online literature in Southeast Asia.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
