Question 1

When does it open?

Accepted Answer

No date we would want to hold ourselves to yet — the waitlist is how you find out first, and how we decide how many people to let in per batch. Confirmed addresses go out in order.

Question 2

What will I need to run it?

Accepted Answer

A Windows machine with an NVIDIA GPU is the happy path. There is a low-VRAM mode for smaller cards, and a CPU fallback that works but is slow enough that you will feel it.

Question 3

Do I have to publish it anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Rendering and publishing are separate steps. Studio is finished once you have a chapter-marked .m4b and a folder of WAVs on your disk. Publishing to ChapterWing is there when you want an audience, not before.

Question 4

How do I make money from it?

Accepted Answer

Publish the book as a serial at ChapterWing and offer membership tiers. Readers subscribe to unlock chapters and early access, and those payouts go to you. You set the price and keep the relationship with your audience.
