Kindle Vella is Shutting Down—Switch to Inkitt Author Subscription

As Kindle Vella officially closes on February 25, 2025, and new purchases of episodes will no longer be available, we’re here at Inkitt excited to provide you with a new home for sharing and monetizing your ongoing fiction stories. And the best part is that you can keep 100% of your profits!

Kindle Vella was a game-changer for authors, offering a convenient way to publish stories one episode at a time, live! It was all about keeping readers hooked with each new release and letting authors earn along the way through reader purchases and bonuses. Plus, Vella helped authors build a loyal fan base, with readers able to follow along, interact, and stay engaged as the story unfolded—making it a perfect setup for audience growth and connection!

So, here’s where the Inkitt Author Subscription Program steps in—it’s the perfect place for authors to keep their creative journey going strong and maintain those all-important reader relationships.
