What is StoryForage?
StoryForage is a comprehensive platform designed to support independent authors and connect them with readers. It provides a space for authors to publish their work, earn revenue, and engage with a community, while readers can discover fresh, community-driven stories across all devices. The platform features a growing library of books, including serialized stories with new chapters released regularly, and an immersive web reader that allows users to track reading progress, leave highlights, and participate in discussions.
The platform emphasizes community-powered discovery, where reader engagement—such as likes, reads, and comments—helps books gain visibility and rise in popularity. Authors benefit from fair earnings, with up to 90% on sales and a share in subscription revenue, making it an attractive option for indie publishing. StoryForage also hosts writing contests to further engage the community and showcase talent, though it is not a writing tool or editor itself.
