Type a title. Creator Studio generates real covers from a prompt.
How publishing works
From first draft to first royalty.
Everything happens in Knowvas Creator Studio, your dashboard for putting work together and watching it earn. Follow one book from its first sentence to its first withdrawal.
Write it here, or bring it finished.
Draft chapter by chapter in the studio editor, which saves as you type. An assistant can continue a scene, tighten a paragraph or summarise a chapter when you ask. Already have a manuscript? Upload the EPUB or PDF instead.
A cover, a blurb and keywords, drafted for you.
Generate a cover from a short prompt, then let the assistant draft your description and search keywords. Keep them, edit them, or write your own.
A fair price in every currency.
Set your price in one currency and the studio suggests the rest using purchasing power parity, so a book feels fairly priced in Lagos, Accra, Nairobi and Johannesburg. Override any of them.
Readers tonight. Classrooms next term.
Every approved title goes to readers on Knowvas. Tick one box and it is open to schools too, where a whole class can read it as a set text.
Then watch it earn.
Sales pay you 60% of the purchase price. Subscribers who read your work earn you rewards for their reading time, and school licences settle at the end of each term. It all lands in one dashboard you can withdraw from.

Chapter 7
The Ferryman's Debt
The ferryman never asked for coins. He asked for stories, and the river kept every one of them.
Adaeze was scared and she didn't really know what to say to him so she just stood there while the water made noise and it got dark.Adaeze stood on the jetty with nothing to offer. Behind her the water talked to itself, and the light was going.

One studio, six kinds of work.
Novels and textbooks, narrated audio, comics, magazine issues and the daily paper, plus series that hold your books together.
Books
Novels, guides and textbooks. Readers get a proper reader with themes, read-aloud and bookmarks.
Earnings
Paid when they buy. Paid when they read.
Two ways readers pay you, and a third from schools. All three land in the same dashboard, and you can withdraw to your bank.
See your 60% before you publish.
Subscribers read. You still get paid.
Readers on a Knowvas subscription can open titles you make available to subscribers. You earn rewards for the time they spend reading your work, and time only counts while pages are actually turning.
How reading time is measuredKnowvas Edu
Your book, on the syllabus.
Open a title to schools with one toggle. Schools license it for whole classes instead of photocopying it, and your share settles at the end of every term.
Shared by what students actually read.
Schools pay Knowvas Edu per student, per term. When the term ends, the publisher pool is split between titles by how much students read each one. Drag the reading time to see the split move.

I don't get why the ferryman wants stories instead of money.
KoraGood question. Look at chapter 7 again: what does the river do with every story it is given?
It keeps them. All of them.
KoraExactly. So to the ferryman, a story lasts longer than a coin. Why do you think Adaeze has nothing to give him?
And Kora teaches it.
Students on Knowvas Edu can study with Kora, an AI tutor that answers from the licensed book itself. She asks before she explains, so students work your ideas out instead of skimming past them.
Your copyright stays yours.
Publishing on Knowvas gives readers access to your work. Ownership never moves.
The price and the access.
Free, paid, open to subscribers, or subscribers only. You decide, title by title.
Before anything goes live.
Every title is checked against our publishing guidelines before readers see it.
