What free actually is
- One novella, ever. Not one a month — one. A run that stops partway does not use it up.
- About 24,000 words in 12 chapters, written start to finish, and every chapter readable in the browser.
- One cover, built from your own story rather than a stock template. No alternates.
- Read online, not downloaded. Download, print and the licence to sell unlock when you upgrade — and they unlock this book, not a rewrite.
- Your cover appears in the public gallery. The text stays behind your login. That is the trade.
- Personal use while it's free. This book is licensed for your own reading, not for sale — until you upgrade. Upgrading licences this book for commercial publication: download it, print it, sell it. Not a rewrite, the same book.
- KDP’s AI questions are yours to answer. If you later publish on Amazon, you must declare AI-generated text and images on their form, even after substantial edits. We do not upload or tick the box.How to answer →
