That means someone could read that chapter and two more for just 1.99. I have two stories available on the platform now, one chapter is 3990 words and is worth 39 tokens to unlock. So, if you’re planning an epic fantasy of the same scale as Game of Thrones, building a loyal readership will have massive benefits. This might seem debilitating to some authors but a few wordy emails from KDP seem to indicate that while episodes have a cap, your story may be never-ending. Episodes are capped at a 5000-word limit. How much each episode is worth depends on the word count. There is also what looks like a price chart for Tokens set up on the site as well.ġ40 Tokens (equivalent to 2+ episodes) for 1.99ģ68 Tokens (equivalent to 7+ episodes) for 4.99ħ70 Tokens (equivalent to 15+ episodes) for 9.99 But the landing page for KV mentions its royalties and says authors will be paid 50% of the money readers spend on Tokens used to unlock their story episode. I haven’t found any sort of conversion chart on the Kindle Vella platform to demonstrate how much each token is worth for authors. ![]() Authors will receive compensation based on how many tokens their chapters collect. But if audiences want to continue with a story beyond those sample chapters, they will have to purchase Tokens from the Kindle store-likely Amazon-and contribute a set amount to unlock each future chapter. The first three chapters, or episodes, of every story on the platform will be absolutely free to all readers. Readers will be allowed to thumbs-up, favorite, or follow stories they like, while contributing Tokens to the books they want to finish. Authors can leave author notes at the end of each chapter, responding to reader concerns, sharing thoughts about the story, or just dropping a hint at when the next chapter will be available. KV allows authors to upload their manuscripts one chapter at a time, set their own release schedule, and even communicate with readers at a level we’ve never seen before. Though some information released by KDP has indicated your story can be much longer than a traditional novella. KV’s intent is to spotlight short stories-specifically novellas, hint, Kindle VELLA. ![]() That means it is designed for self-published authors and can be accessed from your KDP homepage. ![]() The Kindle Vella program is an extension of the KDP platform.
