Frequently Asked Questions

Can I read stories for free?
Yes, 100%. All published stories are free to read. A subscription removes ads and gives you early access to new stories — it's a way to support the site, not a paywall.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, at any time. No questions asked. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.
How does the annual book work?
Each year we curate the best stories submitted to the site and compile them into a formatted print book, available on Amazon and Lulu. Stories appear as submitted (with author permission). Subscribers get a discount code when the book launches.
What payment methods do you accept?
We'll accept all major credit cards via Stripe, and PayPal. Payment integration is coming shortly — sign up for our email list to be notified when subscriptions go live.
Does my story get into the book if I subscribe?
Not automatically — stories are selected based on quality, variety, and reader engagement. But subscribers do get priority review and their stories are considered first. Submit early!
