Wiser’s book summaries are original, editorial works that distill the key ideas from non-fiction books. While they are based on published titles, each summary is written in our own voice and format, crafted by professional writers and editors. They are not copied texts — they are transformed, educational interpretations created to help users discover and understand new ideas.
We work with publishing partners to carefully select books for summarization and aim to introduce more readers to valuable books and authors they might not have found otherwise. In many cases, we share revenue with our partners to ensure that both publishers and authors benefit from our platform.
Wiser summaries are concise by design — they are like trailers for books. While they highlight the core insights, they can’t replace the depth, nuance, and full experience that a complete book provides. That’s why we always encourage readers to buy the original book if they want to explore the topic in more depth.
Our goal is to support a culture of learning, curiosity, and reading. If a summary sparks someone’s interest in an author’s work, we see that as a win for everyone — especially the author.
If you’re an author and see your book featured on Wiser, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach us.
