Get your stories ready for your readers NOW!

Creation A Story

Click "Create" in the menu bar on the left side of the homepage, and you will be taken to the page for creating a new story.

Select Your Publication Mode

In "Publication Modes" there are several options to choose from, including "Story", "Comics", "Essays" and "Writing Contests" etc. Your work will be categorized and placed in the mode you choose. If you choose "Story" or “Comic", your chapters will be present chronologically by default so that readers can read your work by the chapter’s publish date.

If you choose "Essay", your chapters will be listed in reverse chronological order, with the newest chapter at the top of your work.

If you choose "Writing Contest", you will create a writing prompt and let others join the contest and do the writing accordingly. More details will be introduced in the following guidelines.

Collaborative Writing

If you are on your own, you may not pick any of the roles below, meaning that you will be the sole creator of the story.

If your story needs to be created by more than one writer, you can choose to add "collaborative roles” to your story to allow more people to be involved.

Publishing Mode

"Open for Sponsorship" - This will determine if your work receives sponsorship from readers in the future.

Story Genres/Categories

There are now 17 main categories on Penana that allow creators to choose as they like, and appropriate classification will facilitate readers to find your work.

Sub-categories are also available for creators to choose from, and each work can have one main category and two sub-categories at the same time.

Story Tags

You can create your Tags if there are no suitable genres in the above classification system.

When you create a Tag, you will see tag suggestions, and you can observe a number on the right-hand side, which is the number of publications on Penana that are currently using the Tag. The larger the number, the more popular the Tag is.

You can also click on different Tags to learn about the works under the Tags.

You are all set!
