About Rogue Animal

A New Home for Independent Authors 

Established in 2019, we’re an independent site designed to give promotion to good-quality indie authors. We’ve seen the level of frustration amongst self-published authors, and graphic novelists. Creators that have dedicated long hours to their work, often finding little exposure or reward for their time. If you’re an author feeling that frustration, chances are Rogue Animal is the site for you.

If we think your work is of a good standard, we’ll upload it to our site for readers to discover. Each new story uploaded will be on the homepage for at least a week, so each has a chance to shine.

You can also sell your book on our store. We’ve strived to create a platform that can bring authors the majority of the profits for their hard work. We offer a 75% cut on the money received on sales of ebooks. We currently only sell to the UK, US & Canada, although we’re planning to expand as the site grows.  Please bear in mind any existing contracts you might have before selling with us.

A Place for Readers 

We want a site where readers can feel at home too. Each story on our site has been be read, at least in part, by us. We hope this will save readers time that they otherwise might spend on other sites sifting through books to find a decent story.

By creating an account here you can follow your favourite authors so you never miss and update. We want to be in touch with readers too, allowing you to shape the future direction of our site. Join our Rogue Reader group to be part of the community.

From time to time we’ll run polls to determine what sort of content site users want to see. Our end goal is to publish the most successful books on our site, if you’re a reader, you’ll be helping decide which books go to publication.

So, if you’re a reader, we hope you find a library of stories that you can get lost in. If you’re an author, head over to the submissions page to find out how to send us work.

Over the last few years, I have become more and more aware of discontent within the writing community. Many authors have felt let down by the publishing industry, the works of many talented authors have been left behind. To find out more about the industry, and to try and find out some of the ways to change this trend, I embarked upon a master’s in publishing at the University of Central Lancashire. This was when the ideas for Rogue Animal first emerged; a platform where every good quality author can be given a chance to gain exposure.

On this site I hope you will find a space where your writing can grow, a place to connect with other writers, share feedback and build a network. Whether a reader or author, I hope you enjoy your stay here and find our site to be a useful resource.

I have a dream that one day everyone can have a chance to make a living from comics and books, that they get rewarded from the work they do, that donation money goes to them and not to businesses. As a comic author, I’ve posted on many comic hosting sites. I have seen my work and the work of others struggle for views, not because the work is bad, purely because it has been drowned out in a sea of content. The sites themselves don’t help, often favouring and promoting genres such as BL over other genres. All genres should be given an equal weight. I want to change things for everyone, for the better.
