Question 1

Who owns what I make?

Accepted Answer

You do — the series, the characters, the show. Koe holds only the non-exclusive rights needed to host and sell it while you publish here.

Question 2

Can I sell a series I made somewhere else?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload the episodes, confirm you hold the rights, choose what's free, and publish.

Question 3

What does Koe take?

Accepted Answer

20% of each season pass, after payment processing. There are no listing or monthly fees to sell.

Question 4

Will my script train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. It's processed to make your episodes, then it's yours.

Question 5

When can viewers pay for my show?

Accepted Answer

Now.

Question 6

Do I need video experience?

Accepted Answer

No. Bring finished episodes, or let Koe make them and approve each scene.

Question 7

Can I turn my novel into a series?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's what the Make path is built for.

Question 8

What does making a season on Koe cost?

Accepted Answer

Creating runs on the plans above. A 3-episode pilot arc of your book is $199; a full 20-episode season is under $2,000 — live-action micro-drama runs about $2,860 per episode. Publishing and selling cost nothing up front. Koe keeps 20% of each pass after payment processing, and that's the whole model.

Question 9

What will my series actually look like?

Accepted Answer

Stylized cinematic drama — heightened, beautiful, clearly rendered. Not photoreal deepfakes, not pretend footage of real actors. It's the register built for vertical drama, and you approve every frame. The showcase shows exactly what the engine produces today.

Question 10

What about heat level?

Accepted Answer

Your season plays by the same rules as ReelShort and TikTok: all the tension, none of the explicit. The steam stays in your book — the series sells the wanting and sends readers to where it's answered. (Those are also the rules payment processors set for everyone, including the billion-dollar apps.)

Question 11

I'm in KU / traditionally published — can I still do this?

Accepted Answer

You need to hold the video rights to the work you adapt. Indie authors almost always do; KU exclusivity covers your ebook text, not a video series — but read your own contracts, and if you're trad-published your screen rights may sit with your publisher. We ask you to confirm rights before anything sells — that protects you and every other creator here.

Question 12

Can I use a pen name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your show page carries whatever name you publish under. No face, no footage of you, no legal name required — the series stars your characters, not you.

Question 13

What if I don't like what it makes?

Accepted Answer

Then nobody sees it. You approve the cast before rendering and every episode before publishing, and fixes are conversational. The pilot arc exists precisely so you can judge the whole thing for $199 before a full season.

Question 14

Will this hurt my book sales?

Accepted Answer

The opposite is the design. Free episodes are discovery content for your existing readers and their feeds; the season links to your books, your newsletter, your store. The book stays the primary asset — the series is a second body for the same story, working the way your audiobook does: new format, same fans, more of them.

Question 15

How much will I earn?

Accepted Answer

Honestly: most seasons will earn modestly, some will earn a lot, and nobody can promise you which yours will be. What's certain: you keep 80% of every pass after payment processing, a season made on Koe costs less than most authors spend on covers, and the free episodes market your backlist either way. We publish real numbers from real creators as they happen — never projections.

Question 16

Is my show exclusive to Koe?

Accepted Answer

No. Post your episodes anywhere — TikTok, YouTube, your own site — and sell them anywhere else too. Koe's rights are non-exclusive. Your channels are the whole point.

Question 17

Who's behind Koe?

Accepted Answer

A technical founder (ex-Meta) who spent a year building the production engine — ~19,000 creators use it, and it's been earning revenue since launch. The division of labor is simple: you're the storyteller; I built the camera.
