Verified Founding Author Status
Accepted Founding Authors will automatically qualify for a verified and trusted author account. This means your profile, books, and content may receive stronger visibility and recommendations across Ixonian for a set period of time.
Founding Authors will not need to spend credits to receive this verified status during the founding period. However, all accounts and uploaded content must still follow Ixonian's rules, quality standards, and content requirements.
Special Author Titles and Recognition
Ixonian will offer special author titles based on audience growth, achievements, sales, quality, and contribution to the platform. These titles may include:

Author of the Month
Voice of Fiction
Voice of Romance

These titles are designed to help authors stand out and build a stronger public profile on Ixonian.
Founding Author Credit Rewards
The top 15 Founding Authors who show the most dedication, quality, and willingness to grow with Ixonian may receive a set amount of Ixonian credits.
These credits can be used to help promote their books, grow their profile, unlock special features, or invest further into their author career on the platform. The credit reward is meant to support participation while still keeping the platform fair for all authors.
Increased Book Recommendations
Books uploaded by Founding Authors may be recommended more often for a set amount of time, usually between 1 and 5 years , depending on the author's rank, book quality, audience response, and platform activity.
Each book may be reviewed by the Ixonian team and the Ixonian audience. Based on quality, originality, engagement, and performance, the author's profile may receive a higher ranking on the platform.
We thank all applicants for their cooperation and willingness to help build Ixonian from the beginning.
Limited Founding Author Spots
Applying to become a Founding Author does not guarantee acceptance.
All applications will be reviewed by the Ixonian team. Additional questions may be sent by email if more information is needed. At this stage, Ixonian plans to accept around 70 to 130 Founding Authors .
Earnings From Views and Reads
Audience views, reads, and engagement may be converted into an author balance. Once the balance reaches the required cash-out amount, usually between $30 and $100 USD , authors may be able to withdraw their earnings.
Founding Authors may receive a stronger earning opportunity during their first set period on the platform, usually between 1 and 5 years . Authors may also choose to convert their balance into Ixonian credits to grow their profile, promote books, purchase profile features, unlock tags, or use other author tools.
Referral Rewards
Ixonian authors may receive a personal referral code. When someone uses an author's referral code, the new user may receive a discount, and the Founding Author may earn a small reward, usually between $1 and $2 per successful referral .
There is no fixed limit to how much an author can earn through referrals. Depending on audience size, book performance, and author rank, some authors may earn much more over time.
Original Content Requirement
The use of stolen, copied, or copyrighted content without permission is not allowed. Any author who uploads plagiarized work, copyrighted material, or misleading content may lose their account, credits, earnings, uploaded content, and Founding Author title.
AI-assisted writing must be used responsibly. Authors may not submit fully copied, low-quality, or falsely claimed work as original content.
Author Rights and Publishing License
