New Amazon Vella Program

Beware the fine print for this new beta Vella program. And understand all the requirements before you participate.

Amazon want (US only during beta) writers to write serial episodes “on faith” and upload to their new Vella beta program so Amazon can offer the first three episodes free to attract readers. If the readers want to read more they will need to sign up and purchase Tokens, then use the Tokens to unlock further episodes, using one token per 100 words. And Amazon will pay the writer 50% of the token cost.

Now for some calculations.
