Bring your supporters across with their tiers. writefolio takes 0% of reader subscriptions.
A chapter isn't written once. It's outlined, drafted, edited, read by betas, and released, and every one of those is a layer. You don't need seven apps to get it there. You need one place where a chapter goes through the whole cycle.
These are your chapter layers. Each one is a draft or a work in progress along the way: notes, outline, beats, dialogue, draft, polish, and the bonus layers your top tiers unlock. The badge on a layer says who gets to read it. Keep scrolling and the rest of the app comes into view around it.
Importing your reader list just got easier. Easily assign tiers during migration and your readership lands with same structure. Most will be thrilled that you can buy more coffee.
Learn how your readership grows and what's working. Follow readers all the way from your landing through to your chapters: where they stopped, who hit the wall and who unlocked it.
Nothing beats the feedback you can get from your peers, and we make it easy for you to bring everyone together into one page.
Audiobooks used to arrive a year late and cost a studio. Now the chapter you release on Friday ships with a reading the same day, cast from your own bible: Gustavo in his voice, Alice in hers, a narrator between them. Readers press play on the commute and the page follows word by word. One more reason to subscribe, and a tier worth paying for.
Foli files your prose and chat discussions into a chapter-honest bible. Confess Gustavo the Great is terrified of thunder and it lands under Vulnerabilities, because our hero acts like a wet cat when lightning strikes. The bible's knowledge of him grows with the book, and when Foli answers from chapter three she only knows what chapter three knew.
Focus mode clears the chrome: rail, comments, margins. Your layers stay one tap away. Seven themes, each in light and dark, to write in. A notes drawer opens without leaving the page. You and the chapter.
Upload your supporters' email addresses with the tier each one is on. Anyone with a writefolio account gets their tier right away. Everyone else gets it the first time they sign in with that address, and their place is held for a year. You choose how long their access lasts, from 90 days to no end. We don't email your list: you announce the move in your own words.
Not by us. An imported supporter's tier is a gift, so writefolio bills them nothing for what they already pay you elsewhere. If they choose to subscribe here, we remind them to cancel their old pledge. You decide when your old page closes.
No. We take 0% of reader subscriptions. Readers pay through your own Stripe account, so Stripe's processing fee is the only deduction. Paid tiers come with Pro.
Yes. Every chapter releases to each tier on its own schedule, so your top tier can read a week early, and bonus layers can unlock for higher tiers only. Readers get an email when a chapter they can read goes out.
Bring your supporters with their tiers and your chapters with your files. Supporters keep their access when they sign in, nobody is charged twice by us, and your story reads as a book instead of a feed of posts.
Yes. Bring in chapters you have already written and keep going from where you stopped. Foli reads what you import and starts building the bible out of it, so a book that began in Word or Docs arrives with its continuity already mapped.
You. Subscriptions are sold through your own Stripe account, you are the merchant of record, and we take no cut of reader revenue. Your readers are your list, not ours, and if you leave they get a notice so they can follow you wherever you go next.
You leave with everything. Export any manuscript as DOCX, EPUB, PDF, RTF, ODT, or Markdown, and your subscribers get a notice so the audience you built comes with you. Nothing is held back to make leaving harder than joining.
No. Publishing is a decision you make one chapter at a time, and it is off until you make it. A project can stay private for its whole life, and plenty do: the layers, the bible, and Foli work exactly the same on a book nobody has read yet.
Credits track what the model actually costs, pegged to the dollar with no invented exchange rate. Every pass Foli runs lands in your ledger with the model it used and what it cost, so the bill is never a mystery, and heavier work simply costs more than a quick one.
