Creating an account

Please note, your email is how we communicate with you if you experience any issues. We recommend not using your school email address, as that will disappear and be inaccessible once you graduate. 

When you sign up, you will be asked if you are a reader or a writer. Whichever you choose, you'll still have the opportunity to read and write after your account is created.

If you create a story, please note that it's not possible to transfer it to another account.
