For writers
Write the story. We’ll bring the readers.
Moonscribe is made for serial fiction: publish one chapter at a time, build a following that comes back for every release, and earn from the people who love your work.

Writer questions
Before you start
Who owns my stories?
You do. Authors keep 100% of the intellectual property rights to their work. Publishing on Moonscribe gives Moonscribe a non-exclusive licence to display, index and analyse your stories, as set out in our terms.
Do I have to use Tyler?
No. Tyler is there when you want a second opinion. It is an assistant, and what goes on the page is always your decision.
Can I charge for chapters?
You can make chapters premium. Readers unlock them with Moonscribe coins, and they can also tip you coins at any time.
Can I write with someone else?
Yes. Invite co-authors to a story and write it together.
