Seller tip!

Write a good description so that editors can quickly understand what they are looking at, and choose a licence and price that will sell.

Buyer tip!

Browse by category or search by keyword to find stories that meet your needs. You can also subscribe to email alerts and RSS feeds of your preferred categories, authors and topic.

How do sales work?

When a buyer confirms the purchase of a story, both buyer and seller will receive an email notification.

The buyer will also receive an invoice due on the 20th of the following month.

Once that invoice has been paid and the payment cleared, allaboutthestory.com will deduct our 20% transaction fee and deposit the balance in the seller’s nominated bank account.

How much does it cost?

It is free to register, browse for and post content on allaboutthestory.com

We charge sellers 20% of the transaction price whenever a story is sold.

For now, all prices are quoted in New Zealand dollars and are GST exclusive. For New Zealand buyers, we add 12.5%
