Overview direct from the Amazon World's website:

Kindle Worlds is easy to use... you can upload your story easily—along with a title, editorial description, and other information.

  • Kindle Worlds accepts novels, novellas, and short stories inspired by the Worlds we have licensed.
  • Using our Cover Creator, you can design a cover for your Kindle Worlds story.
  • World Licensors have provided Content Guidelines for each World, and your work must follow these Content Guidelines. We strongly encourage you to read the Content Guidelines before you commit the time and effort to write.
  • Stories are available in digital format exclusively on Amazon.com, Kindle devices, iOS, Android, and PC/Mac via our Kindle Free Reading apps. We hope to offer additional formats in the future.
  • You will receive monthly royalty reports and payments for all copies sold.
