Amazon sets the price, typically between 99¢ and $3.99. Works of at least 10,000 words are paid 35% of net revenue. Amazon also has a pilot program paying 20% of net revenue for short stories between 5,000 and 10,000 words.

These are digital only works, and there are other restrictions found on the authors page and content guidelines.

Writing in another author’s world is harder than you might think. It requires discipline, a familiarity with the canon of your selected world, and originality (within canonical restrictions, of course).
