Summary
Story metadata helps readers decide whether a work suits them and gives Admin reviewers the information needed to review it.
Steps
- Use a title and summary that describe the actual work; avoid promises, genre labels, or plot claims the story does not support.
- Choose the story’s language and genres, then set its maturity rating and content warnings based on the complete work.
- Disclose AI assistance accurately when the editor asks, and check that the public byline and rights information are correct.
- Upload only the book cover in the accepted format and dimensions shown in Story Settings; keep the file within the 10 MB limit.
What to expect
- Metadata and cover changes are reviewed before a new or changed version is published.
- Only covers can be uploaded in the current service; do not try to attach audio, video, or chapter illustrations.
- A rating or warning cannot be used to bypass the platform’s content rules or the reader’s age-access choice.
Troubleshooting
- If validation rejects a field, read the inline message and correct the specific value rather than changing unrelated story details.
- If the cover fails, verify its file type, dimensions, and size against the instructions beside the upload control.
- Report a public metadata or disclosure problem with the story URL and the exact field that appears wrong.
