Hello Nairaland Authors and Writers.

This is a call to all authors and writers who currently have complete novels and are looking for a platform to publish them. We are launching a site shortly called Pennd. It will be an online publication platform for stories of all lengths. But here is the good part. You, the authors and writers, get paid an Author's Earning Rate AER per Unique view you get on your novels. We will pay at the end of the month, on the 28th, for every view you got last month.

Let me get this out of the way, no, you most likely won't get rich from our platform, but at least you'll get returns. The AER will be 4 Naira per view from the day of launch. That means if you get 1000 views, you make 4000 Naira, and if you get 10,000 views, you get 40,000 Naira. Think of it as a passive side income for your books gathering dust in your Google Drive. We accept all books that are not ghostwritten or sold off to clients, but are your unpaid works. We accept works that have already been published.

Here is our catch,

Please don't send us erotica. We are trying to build a family-friendly site, and frankly, we want more intriguing content. We are open to crime, drama, fantasy, mystery, horror, and every other genre. We will also take sweet romance, so that you know, we are not anti-romance.

Unfortunately, we cannot take short stories for now, but we take short story collections. We also cannot take works in progress, we only want finished works. Be informed that all we will offer is light proofreading, so everything else is on you to get ready.

We would like to have 15 to 30 books minimum to launch with, and be open to new books all year round. Note that we will be selective of the type of stories we will accept and are completely unwilling to take stories that are boring and full of grammatical errors. So please send us your best works.

To apply, simply send three chapters of your novel for us to read. It can be three consecuitive chapters or three random chapters.

If we like the story, we will ask for the whole book, and if we like the book, you will get a contract with us. The submission stage will take anywhere between 2 weeks and 1 month; We are a small team. Send all samples to us with a viewer-only permission.

Share your sample with tiredbrainng@gmail.com (we are working on getting a professional email soon) and give viewing access only.

At the top of the sample, please only include your contact email, total word count of the book, genre, and 100 words synopsis. We want to keep the entire process free from bias.

If you know anyone who may benefit from this opportunity kindly share. Thanks.

I'm Rita and you can always reach out to me for follow up via my email deraritaiwu@yahoo.com.

Feel free to leave your comments and inquiries here. I'll answer as much as possible. The entire process for launching is ongoing, but we need books anyway, so getting authors is a must for us. So I'll be happy to attend to any questions here and we can see where it goes. Again kindly tell a friend. Thanks.

My friend online4business will ask this question Do you want to be right or rich.

I understand your point but unlike you we are not thinking short term. Erotica raises money quickly but even Any story and its sister sites have a combined readerbase of just about 3 million. And they spent and still spend heavily on adverts. It's a great idea for get rich quick but there is only so much it can grow and stagnancy will be innevitable.

As I said the goal is to become a family friendly site for all writers and readers. If we build that trust and safe space eventually we can offer an 18+ section but at that point we haven't created a site that is restrictive and unwelcoming to families and more reserved people.

Pennd has a long term vision. And in this case our plan is to Yes get things right not to get rich.
