Independent Authors & Writers — Publish With ChapterTrail

Independent Authors & Writers — Publish With ChapterTrail
You wrote that story for readers.
You shaped an idea into something worth sharing. Now, you deserve a publishing platform where your writing can reach readers, earn from their support, and give you the freedom to retain ownership of your work.
ChapterTrail is a publishing platform for independent writers across genres, including fiction and nonfiction.
A Publishing Platform Built Around Writers
- Publish your writing for free.
- Retain control of your publishing choices.
- No restrictive exclusive publishing commitment.
- No mandatory word-count requirements or prescribed story outlines.
- Give readers a way to support the books and stories they value.
When readers add your publication to their library and support it through a Reader Advantage slot, it can continue earning for you for as long as it remains in their library.
We're building ChapterTrail with writers, not simply building a platform and asking writers to adapt to it.
We're listening to authors, improving the reading experience, and developing thoughtful new ways for readers to support authors.
Who Can Apply?
We're looking for independent writers who want to publish their work, connect with readers, and grow their readership.
You can apply if you're a:
- Fiction Author: Romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, science fiction, drama, adventure, and other fiction genres.
- Nonfiction Author: Writers of business and entrepreneurship books, personal development, biographies, educational content, finance, leadership, self-help, essays, and other nonfiction titles.
- Novelist: Writers with completed manuscripts or books in progress.
- Serial Fiction Writer: Authors who publish their stories in episodes or chapters.
- Aspiring Author: Writers preparing to publish their first book or take their writing to a wider audience.
- Established Independent Author: Writers looking for another platform to publish and reach new readers.
Whether you're an emerging writer or an established author, we welcome submissions across genres, provided they meet ChapterTrail's publishing standards.
A Commitment to Quality
We believe independent publishing shouldn't mean compromising on the quality of the reading experience or the value of your writing.
That's why every book submitted to ChapterTrail is reviewed before it is approved for publication on our platform. We want to create an environment where writers can showcase their creativity and readers can discover books worth their time.
