Welcome, Vella Authors!
With Amazon announcing the shutdown of Kindle Vella, serial fiction authors are now on the lookout for a new platform that understands their needs and values their hard work. Enter Ream—a creator-focused platform tailored for serial fiction authors, offering an easy, flexible transition process and a range of features that give authors more control over their content, engagement, and income.
​
To make this transition smooth and seamless, Ream is launching a “Welcome, Vella Authors” Campaign designed specifically to support Vella authors as they move to a new creative home. Here’s what to expect from this campaign, how Ream meets authors’ needs, and the resources prepared to help authors make the most of their new experience on Ream.

Supporting Vella Authors in a New Creative Home
The “Welcome, Vella Authors” Campaign invites authors to explore Ream with all the support and tools they need for a smooth transition. Ream understands that switching platforms can be overwhelming, so it has designed resources to guide authors through every step. This campaign not only helps authors recreate their serial fiction experience on Ream but also introduces them to a whole new set of tools that give them more control over how they publish, engage with readers, and earn revenue.
​
“We’re thrilled to welcome Vella authors to Ream,” said Emilia Rose, CEO of Ream. “As an author myself, I know how important it is to have a platform that puts authors first, where we can take control of our stories, earnings, and reader connections. Ream was built with these values at its core, and I’m excited to help our new authors thrive here.”
​
Why Ream? Ream is committed to putting the control back in the hands of creators. The platform allows authors to set their own prices, manage their subscriptions, and engage directly with fans, giving them a level of creative and financial autonomy that’s truly unique.​

What Makes Ream Different?​
Ream is built by creators, for creators, with a range of features that make it an ideal choice for serial fiction authors. Here’s how Ream stands out:
Creator-Focused Tools
On Ream, authors can set up their own subscription tiers, offer perks, and release content on their terms. This flexibility allows authors to create a structure that suits their writing pace, fans, and creative goals.
Reader Engagement Features
Ream makes it easy to build relationships with readers. Its interactive features allow readers to comment, like, and follow stories, creating an engaged community where readers and authors connect more personally. Say goodbye to static content drops—on Ream, readers are part of the journey.
Flexible Subscription Model
Unlike Vella’s token-based model, Ream operates on a subscription-based structure, allowing authors to earn predictable revenue directly from their fans. Authors control the pricing and perks subscribers receive, giving them the power to offer exclusive content, early access, or additional updates to loyal readers.​
​According to Emilia, “We know that a platform isn’t just a place to publish; it’s where authors build their careers and connect deeply with fans. Ream is designed to support and celebrate that journey every step of the way, especially for those coming from Vella.”
​
This combination of creator-centered tools, interactive features, and flexible monetization creates an ideal space for Vella authors to thrive.
