WritersBlock is open for early access

April 11, 2026 · By Rob Haskell

We're live with a very soft launch. We would love to hear what you think. Here's you chance to get in on the ground floor of a fun idea.

What is this?

WritersBlock is a fiction marketplace. Authors publish stories and set their own prices. Readers buy credits and spend them to unlock what they want to read. When someone pays for your work, you get half. We get the other half to keep the lights on.

No ads. No bullshit. Just good stories, good writer and interested readers.

Why early access?

The platform works — you can publish, you can buy, you can read — but it's still early. Features are basic. Rough edges exist. We'd rather have real writers and readers shaping what comes next than build in isolation and hope we got it right.

For writers

You set your price per story. Readers pay in credits. You keep 50% of every transaction. You retain full rights to your work.

The reading experience is clean — your title, your name, your words. Nothing else competing for attention.

For readers

Buy credits and spend them on stories that fascinate you. Unlock a story and it's yours to keep.

Come in

We're not trying to be everything to everyone. We're trying to be a good place to publish and read fiction, with a simple deal for everyone involved.

If that sounds like what you're looking for, we'd like to have you.
