Press catalog
A page listing your completed works with edition editing.
So what does it actually cost?
Gatariya keeps a cut of what you sell on site, and that is the whole business model. No subscription, listing fee, or paid tier for the good tools.
If you never charge for a chapter, you never pay us anything. Ever. Have fun <3
