TINTAXIS Β· BY SELECTION ONLY
A digital publisher built for serious writers β not algorithms.
THE MODEL
Tintaxis is not a self-publishing tool. There are no tiers, no monthly fees, and no pay-to-exist model. This is a publishing house, not a marketplace. We read your work. We decide. Writers apply. We read. If the work belongs here, we open the door. That's it.
Readers fund the platform by subscribing to writers they want to support. After Stripe processing, you keep 85% of net revenue. We keep the lights on with 15%. No ads. No data harvesting. No algorithm deciding who gets seen. Your reach determines your revenue. Tintaxis promotes your work through social media and digital reading channels β but the real engine is you. Your readers, your marketing, your network. The more you push, the more you earn.
