Creating a series

Try the same fields as the live Publishing tools — below is an offline preview that never sends data to Inkstra.

Where to create (for real)

Sign in and open Publishing, then Create series New series. The interactive preview below matches that form but stays entirely in your browser.

Interactive preview — Works entirely in your browser. No uploads, no API calls, no data leaves your device.

Create new series

Explore the same fields as the live New series form in Publishing. Values here are not saved.

Basics
These show up on your series page and in search.
Format
Controls how the reader lays out pages for this series.
Visibility & tags
Same toggles as the live form (catalog review still applies on the real site).
Catalog review: New series stay hidden until staff approves them. This preview doesn't contact servers — we're just showing the fields.
AI-generated content policy
Matches the current publishing requirement.
AI-generated art and writing are not allowed on Inkstra

The live form enforces this; this box is a reminder for readers of the guide.

Reader interactions
Comment and reaction defaults for the series.
Genres *
Pick 1–2 (same chip UI as production).

Try selecting one or two genres — the real form requires that.

Series cover *
Choose a local file to see how preview works. The image never uploads from this guide page.

Keep your poster all-ages

This image appears in discovery, search, and your series page, even when the series is age-restricted—so it should stay appropriate for all ages (no nudity, sexual imagery, graphic gore, or offensive text in the image). Mature visuals belong inside your labeled comic pages.

Posting terms & policies
Checkboxes mirror the real gate — submitting below still does not contact Inkstra.
Monetization terms
You don’t need to accept monetization terms to publish a series. If you want to monetize now or in the future, you’ll review and accept them when applying for monetization. Read monetization terms.

Quick reference

  • Format — Webtoon (vertical scroll), Manga (RTL), or Comic (LTR) drives the reader layout.
  • Genres — pick 1–2 from the platform taxonomy for discovery.
  • Cover — required; all-ages safe in discovery (even if age-restricted).
  • Age-restricted (18+) — when the series is for adults; with labeling, mature imagery can appear in comic pages (not on covers). See Terms.
  • Catalog review — new series may stay hidden until staff approves; you can still work on chapters.

Next step

When your series exists, add chapters from Publishing → Creating & publishing chapters.
