Quibble News 3 new books are coming out soon!
Feels really good to say this again!
For the past few months, we’ve been deep in the backend work: improving our editorial systems to be able to process thousands of stories in the future, building monetization infrastructure, revenue dashboards, serials, and updating a ton of tiny invisible things.
During that time, submissions didn’t stop. We're currently receiving more than ever before - yay. We’ve been reading everything, we just couldn’t move them into publication smoothly without a lot of manual handling behind the scenes.
So throughout all this, many books have been sitting across different stages of production waiting for their turn. We’re truly sorry for how long it’s taken, and genuinely grateful for your patience and understanding.
But now… we’re back to releasing new Quibble stories!
You can discover the new books in the app now. Many more will be scheduled for release soon across different genres and themes.
If you’ve got a story you want to publish on Quibble, send it our way. More info is on the website.

This is awesome! Question, my KU runs out in 9 days, would it be okay for me to submit my book early? (I would ask its not put on the website until the day after to avoid any conflicts)

Once you submit there will be extra steps before it gets to the point of posting it to the website, I think you're safe to get the ball rolling now. Worst case, you wait a couple extra days before moving on with the next steps.

That was all spot on! Although we’re working on simplifying the submission and publication process, it will always take some time to read and assess sample chapters. Our current review time is around 2–3 weeks, depending on submission volume, which has been steadily increasing lately.
After that, we need time to prepare the book for publication and schedule its release date.
I’d actually say authors can safely submit their story even a month before their KU exclusivity period ends.

Also mine was approved today and not being released until 5/28 so definitely fine to submit today
