Wonderbox only collects a small percent of the money you earn, and only if your items sell. Think of it as the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing or itch.io for digital fiction.

Here's what Wonderbox gives you for our 10%:

  • A worldwide community of readers/players hungry for digital and cooperative fiction.
  • A marketplace dedicated to digital fiction; your work won’t be lost amongst games, and it won’t go unnoticed in a private corner of the web.
  • A marketplace for cooperative fiction that acknowledges the professional worth and quality of this writing, encourages you to build on others’ stories, and others to build on yours.
  • Permanent storage of your digital work on our server: as long as Wonderbox exists, so will your work.
  • Retention of your copyright: you control when, where, and how your work is published.
