Paid chapters (for writers)

Writers who meet certain requirements can lock chapters behind coins. When a reader unlocks a chapter, all of the coins they pay go to you.

Requirements

A paid chapter is a sale, with a reader's money behind it, so your account needs to have proven itself:

• You've accepted the Creator Payment Terms
• At least 25 followers
• At least 10 published chapters across your published books
• At least 250 chapter reads across your published books

The requirements show in the chapter editor: under Options › Chapter price (coins), each one has a ✓ or the amount still missing. They're re-checked every time you open the editor. These values may be updated over time; the current ones are always shown in the editor.

Setting a price

1. Save the chapter at least once (a draft is enough).
2. Tap Options › Chapter price (coins).
3. Enter a price from 1 to 20 coins. 0 means the chapter is free.

After a chapter is sold

Once at least one reader unlocks it, the chapter is what they bought. So:

• Its price can't change.
• It can't be unpublished or deleted, and a book containing a sold chapter can't be deleted.
• You can still fix the text, but its length can only move up to 20% above or below what it was at the first sale.

Good to know

• If you later stop meeting the requirements (for example, your follower count drops), existing paid chapters stay live and you can edit them, but you can't set new prices or publish a new paid chapter.
• Coins you earn appear in your wallet. For cash-out rules and fees, see the Creator Payment Terms: arwy.life/creator-terms.
