The best stories don’t stop at the last chapter.
Reader love shows which stories are hits. Those can grow into audio, translations and screen adaptations, with authors sharing in the upside. We’re building relationships with audio producers, publishers and screen studios, and no adaptation happens without the author’s written agreement.

Straight answers.
Is reading really free?
The first three chapters of every story are free, and you get one free chapter every day. After that, you unlock chapters with coins.
How do coins work?
You buy a coin bundle and spend coins to unlock chapters. There is no monthly subscription. Prices are shown in naira before you pay, and you can pay by bank transfer, card or mobile money where available.
Who owns my story?
You do. You grant Afrinaara the rights needed to publish it, as set out in a plain-language agreement. Audio, translation and screen deals need your written agreement.
When do authors get paid?
Authors are paid monthly once their balance passes a small minimum. Payouts go to a local bank account or mobile money wallet.
Which languages are available?
English and Nigerian Pidgin at launch. We plan to add more African languages as the library grows.
