Why I Chose Vella

The case for episodic storytelling

When it came to choosing a platform to share my story, Kindle Vella stood out as the perfect fit. As an aspiring author, I wanted a platform that would allow me to captivate readers with a serialized format, and Kindle Vella offered just that. With its episodic nature and incremental reading experience, it was the ideal space for my short story.

The convenience of publishing on Amazon's Kindle platform was also a major factor in my decision. With millions of readers already using the Kindle app, I knew that my story would have a wide potential audience. Plus, the ease of self-publishing on Kindle Vella meant that I could bring my fiction to life without any unnecessary barriers.

In choosing Kindle Vella for my superhero versus supervillain novelette, I recognized the unique opportunity it presented. The serialized format allowed me to dive deep into character development and plot twists, keeping readers eagerly anticipating each new episode. It was the perfect medium for storytelling in bite-sized installments.

Ultimately, the reasons behind my choice were clear: Kindle Vella provided me with a platform to share my fiction in an engaging and accessible way. Its episodic nature and wide reach made it an ideal fit for both myself as an author and for readers looking for captivating stories on-the-go.

Perhaps the main attraction was the chance to explore self-publishing in an exciting way that also would ease my way into this new venture. The Supervillain’s Oath is a six-part story, which is admittedly very, very short - though, there is no set rule for anything in writing. There are, however, expectations and standards, but I opted to put up my six-parter anyway. With Vella’s quick-read structure, I felt a mini-series would fit right in, and it is only the beginning.
