What can I publish?

​

Original short fiction, of any genre, between 500 and 20,000 words. If it's yours and it's well-crafted, it belongs here. 

​

What does it cost?

​

Nothing! It'll always be free to publish.

​

Do I keep my rights?

​

Yes. Your work stays yours, and we won't sell or redistribute it without your involvement.

​

How do I get paid?

​

Connect your PayPal in the author workspace. Every story liked by a Novellea Premium subscriber earns a share of that month's pool.

​

Can I use AI?

​

You can use it to research, outline and edit. But you should write the story. The voice has to be yours.

​

What counts as a short story?

​

Between 500 and 20,000 words, and it can be standalone or part of a series. Our readers commit more readily to completed work, so if you're writing a series, please mark it clearly.
