Radish Fiction
Bite-sized stories for your phone.
Overview
Radish is a mobile-first platform specializing in serialized fiction, delivered in short, episodic chapters. It operates on a 'freemium' model where some content is free, but readers can use virtual coins to unlock the latest episodes immediately. This provides a direct monetization path for authors on the platform. Radish is known for its curated content and studio-produced original stories.

- Multiple monetization models: Freemium, Premium (pay-to-read), and Wait-to-Unlock
