For authors
Upload a finished novel and earn 70% of net on every sale and 60¢ every time a member unlocks it — paid monthly, no exclusivity, no fees. A person reviews it and it's live within about a day, in front of readers who pay for books instead of scrolling past them. No per-page games, no upload spam.
What you earn
Member unlocks
Every time a member spends an unlock on your book. Paid on the unlock — you don't have to hope they finish.
À-la-carte sales
You set the price, $0.99 to $4.99, and keep 70% of net at every price — no lower tier for cheaper books, no exclusivity clause. On a $2.99 book that's about $1.78 to you after the store's cut.
Audiobooks
Add a narrated edition — one audio file per chapter (or a zip of them), AI voice or human — and earn $1.20 per member audio unlock, or 70% of net on the audiobook price you set ($4.99–$14.99).
Payouts
Through Stripe, on the 1st, once you've earned $25. Bank details and tax forms go to Stripe, never to us. The full terms are in the Author Agreement.
Per-page pools reward bloat and bots. Paying per reader means a tight 40,000-word novel earns the same as a padded 140,000-word one — and since six unlocks pay out $3.60 against a $7.99 subscription, self-dealing through fake accounts loses money. The honest book wins.
What we ask
20,000 words or more, in EPUB, DOCX, or Markdown. Chapters are detected from headings. Serials and short fiction come later.
Say how the book was made — human-written, human-written · AI-assisted, AI-drafted · human-edited, or AI-written · human-curated — and name any models used. Readers see it on every book page and can filter the shelf by it. Same royalties whichever you choose.
You must have the right to publish it. We check every manuscript against the catalog for duplicates, and we remove books on valid copyright notice.
1600 × 2400 cover art, readable at thumbnail size, and a blurb that sells the book without spoiling it.
No sexual content involving minors, no sexualized real people, no hate or incitement. Mature books are welcome behind the 18+ setting. Read the policy.
Automated checks run on upload; a person reviews before anything goes live. Usually under 24 hours. If something needs changing, you'll get a plain-English note, not a rejection.
A note on copyright
A novel you wrote yourself is yours under copyright from the moment you write it. Under current U.S. law, text generated entirely by a machine may not be protected; your selection, arrangement, and editing may be. Either way, when you publish here you grant us a non-exclusive license to distribute the book to readers and warrant that you have the rights to do so. You keep everything else and can publish elsewhere. Full terms are in the Terms of Service.
