🌱 Our Vision
Writers Grove exists to give authors and readers a true home — one place to create, share, and enjoy stories without juggling multiple platforms.
The writing world has changed dramatically in recent years. NaNoWriMo has shut down, Kindle Vella has closed, and many authors are left trying to stitch together solutions across Royal Road, Patreon, Ko-fi, and blogs. We believe writers deserve better.
Writers Grove is being built to bring community, publishing, and monetization under one roof.
✍️ For Authors
- One platform, not five. Publish your stories, connect with readers, and monetize — all in one place.
- Fair pricing. A flat $14.95/month subscription with no revenue share. Authors keep 100% of their income.
- Freedom of choice. Bring your own payment provider (Stripe, PayPal, ads) — we don’t lock you in.
- Support for all genres. From epic fantasy to romance, from niche subgenres to adult content — you have a home here.
- Tools that work. Proper chapter navigation (oldest → newest), easy exports, clean analytics, and discoverability features designed for authors.
📖 For Readers
- Smooth reading experience. Chapters flow naturally, with a clean, distraction-free interface.
- Discover new favorites. Browse trending stories, follow genres, and find authors who match your tastes.
- Support the authors you love. Subscribe, tip, or simply share their work — every action matters.
🤝 Our Community Values
- Author-first. Writers Grove is built for creators, not advertisers or corporations.
- Transparency. Our rules and policies are open on GitHub.
- Respect. We welcome diverse voices and communities. Creativity thrives where people feel safe and valued.
- Sustainability. This isn’t a short-term experiment — we’re building something to last for decades.
🚀 The Road Ahead
We’re rolling out Writers Grove in phases, starting with core publishing features and expanding into analytics, monetization, and discovery. Later phases will introduce community feedback tools, AI-powered helpers, and ebook/audiobook exports.
Every step forward will be guided by our community. Authors and readers will have a voice in shaping what Writers Grove becomes.
