Hi everyone!

I’m a language student and aspiring educator from Argentina. I’ve been using Comprehensible Input (CI) to learn other languages, and I’ve noticed that many 'graded readers' for Spanish are either too childish, purely academic, or just plain boring.

I want to start a project creating stories and novellas specifically for English speakers learning Spanish. My goal is to make 90% of the content completely free, focusing on interesting plots (Mystery, Sci-Fi, slice-of-life) rather than the typical 'Juan goes to the market' scenarios.

Before I start writing, I’d love to get your feedback:

Genres: What genres are you actually interested in reading? (e.g., Thriller, Fantasy, Latin American culture, etc.)
Difficulty: Do you struggle more to find good content at the Beginner (A1-A2) or Intermediate (B1-B2) level?
Features: If you were to support a creator on Patreon, what would be a 'must-have' for you? (Audiobooks, Anki decks for the stories, grammar breakdowns, or 'choose your own adventure' style endings?)

I really want to create something that feels like a real book, not a textbook. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm planning to write compelling stories for Spanish learners (from A1 to C1). What’s missing in current "Graded Readers"?
