The best terms in the market for serialized fiction. Readers subscribe to you, you keep about 90 percent, there is no exclusivity, and AI is allowed with disclosure. Think Patreon, but built for fiction.
Ream readers subscribe to follow a series chapter by chapter. The lanes that build loyal, paying followings are the bingeable serial genres.
System and cultivation arcs with readers who follow for the long haul.
Slow-burn and high-heat series that readers happily pay to continue.
World-driven sagas that reward a subscription model.
Readers pay a monthly subscription to follow your work, and you keep roughly 90 percent after the platform fee and payment processing. It is the most author-favourable split in this guide. Income depends entirely on how many readers you convert into subscribers, which means a steady release schedule and a series people want to keep reading.
AI-assisted writing is allowed as long as you disclose it, there is no exclusivity so you can cross-post to Royal Road or Amazon, and the subscription model rewards exactly the consistent, serialized output our AI is built to produce.
Ream is smaller and newer than Amazon, so it has less built-in discovery. You will need to bring or build your own audience, for example by posting free on Royal Road and converting fans into subscribers. The generous split only matters once you have subscribers.
