About
Independent Creative Circle
INDIEARTMARK is a private marketplace for independent creators — a small circle of people whose work you already know, with a straightforward way to pay them for it.
Why it exists
Most platforms that sit between a creator and their audience are paid for by advertisers, investors or attention farming. Every one of those pushes the work toward whatever the feed rewards. We are not ad-supported and we are not billionaire-owned, so there is nothing to optimise for except creators getting paid.
Why it is invite-only
Storefronts are added from the back end rather than opened to anyone with an email address. That keeps the marketplace small, keeps moderation possible with a human reading it, and means every page here belongs to someone we can vouch for. If you are interested in becoming a creator, send an email at postmaster@mail.indieartmark.com. You need to at least be an adult and are in agreement with freedom of expression that can be explored in fiction.
How the money works
Each creator connects their own Stripe account with access to the full Stripe Dashboard. Payments go to them directly and payouts land in their bank — we never hold the money. INDIEARTMARK takes a flat 10% of what a creator earns, and Stripe separately deducts its applicable processing fees.
What we ask of everyone
No bullying, no harassment, no doxxing, no illegal activity, and no real-life pornography. The full rules live in the Terms of Service, and they are written in plain language on purpose.
Any questions? The help page covers most of them, and the Terms and Privacy Policy cover the rest.
