§ 01

How the marketplace works

four stages
§ 01

Build & publish

Finish a book, set it public, and list your world on the marketplace. Set your price, choose your fork license, and decide if forkers can use your characters.

§ 02

Readers discover

Catalog readers browse by genre, fork depth, and world complexity. Your cover, synopsis, and world stats surface your work to the right audience.

§ 03

Explorers fork

Anyone on Novelist+ can fork your world. Each fork inherits the full entity library — and every chapter they generate earns you a token commission.

§ 04

Tokens flow back

Distribution is automated. No invoicing, no negotiations. Token splits are enforced at the platform level and credited straight to your wallet.

§ 02

How you earn

revenue model

Multiple income streams
from one world.

Once your world is on the marketplace, it earns from two directions: readers unlocking chapters in your own books, and — when someone forks your world — a world commission carved from the forking author's share whenever their readers unlock a chapter.

Build the foundation once. The earning tree grows as others write on top of it — in tokens, not cash.

Authors earn platform tokens — from reader unlocks, world royalties, tips, and patronage — in a closed loop. LoreHub does not make cash payouts.

§ 04

List your first world

novelist plan

Publishing to the marketplace is available from Novelist. Start free, build your world, and go public when your story is ready for readers — and forkers.
