Private Stories are now live
Authors can now keep a story private, share it with selected subscribers for feedback, and publish it publicly only when they are ready.
Not every story is ready for the public the moment it is written. Private Stories gives authors a quieter step between drafting and publishing.

Authors can keep a story private and share it with selected subscribers for feedback before deciding whether to publish it publicly.
Share a Private Story with selected readers
This makes Private Stories useful for early feedback, experiments, trusted reader circles, or simply for work that needs one more round of confidence.
Free and Pro Authors
Private Stories are available to authors on SSL. Free Authors have a monthly private-story allowance, while Pro Authors can create private stories without that monthly limit.
