Knovel Protocol is a publishing platform where independent authors build a readership, publish their work, and get paid — all in one place. Unlike fragmented tools that split distribution, discovery, and monetization across separate platforms, Knovel unifies them and gives authors real ownership of their work through on-chain IP registration via Story Protocol. Readers can also create licensed derivative works — fanfiction, translations, adaptations — with terms the author controls. Knovel is founded by Abigail Cameron and Tyrice Hicks.
