# Prose.

> Prose. is an invite-only online community where writers publish stories, poems and essays, get read, and get paid. Prose. takes 0% commission on what writers earn: tips, paid subscriptions, book and story sales, and writing-contest prizes all go to the writer, less only Stripe's card processing fee.

Prose. is for people who love to write, want to earn money from their writing, or want to break into publishing. Guests must be 21 or older.

## Earning from your writing

- [Tips](https://prosetest.net/tips): readers tip any post, from $1. Prose. takes 0%; tips land in the writer's wallet and cash out to their bank.
- [Subscriptions](https://prosetest.net/subscriptions): writers set a monthly price and publish subscriber-only pieces; three-month, six-month and yearly plans are set from it. Prose. takes 0%.
- [Books](https://prosetest.net/books): collect posts into a book and sell it, or sell a single post at a flat price. Prose. takes 0%.
- [Prizes](https://prosetest.net/prizes): writing contests with cash prizes. The winner gets it all.
- [Agent](https://prosetest.net/agent): Prose. represents writers' work to publishers and producers and takes no fee (agents usually keep 15%), and helps writers sign with other agencies, as it has with Trident Media Group.

## Writing contests

- [Challenge of the Week](https://prosetest.net/challenge-of-the-week): a new prompt every Monday, open for entries for a day. The entrants then judge each other's work anonymously, round by round, until one winner is left that Sunday. The prize is a share of Prose.'s subscription revenue, and a prize nobody wins rolls over to the next week.
- [All challenges](https://prosetest.net/challenges): prompts and contests from Prose. and its guests, many with cash prizes.

## Reading and discovery

## Writing on Prose.
