Author setup
Simple
Stripe Connect onboarding and book-level pricing controls.
Pricing
Launch pricing should be simple enough to explain in one breath.
We are optimizing for direct sales clarity first: reader pays for the book, author sees the economics, and the platform explains its share without hiding the math. Authors receive 85% of proceeds after payment processing.
Reader purchase
Direct
Buy on the book page and move straight into the library and browser reader.
Platform posture
85%
Author share of proceeds after payment processing, visible in earnings.
For authors
Own your book page, preview surface, and direct reader relationship.
The main promise is coherence: storefront, reader, ARC flow, and analytics all share the same platform shape.
For readers
Buy once, read cleanly, and keep your library state intact.
No subscription complexity required for the first version if the direct ownership path already feels good.
