Buying from NovelSpell
Know before you buy
Straight answers to common questions.
Can I read a sample first?
Yes. Open any book and select ‘Read chapter one’. Every sample is free, and you don’t need to sign up or buy the book first.
Which edition should I choose?
Choose the ebook to receive DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. Choose the paperback for a physical copy printed after you order. Choose ebook + paperback if you want both. Every edition is a one-off purchase with no subscription.
How will I receive my books?
After payment, your ebook download links are sent to the email address you use at checkout. Lulu prints and ships paperbacks on demand, and the available shipping options and costs are shown at checkout. The ebook + paperback edition includes both deliveries.
What does DRM-free mean?
Your ebook files aren’t locked to the NovelSpell store or a single reading app. You can keep personal backups and read the EPUB or PDF using compatible apps and devices.
Which languages are available?
Every NovelSpell title is published in 21 languages. Use the language selector in the header to browse in your language.
Do I need an account?
No. You can make a one-off purchase through Shopify without creating a NovelSpell account or starting a subscription.
What if a book isn’t for me?
Every purchase comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee starting when your order is delivered. If a book disappoints you, even after you download or read it, contact reader support for a refund or replacement.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. You’ll complete your payment through Shopify’s secure hosted checkout. Shopify and its payment partners handle your payment details; the NovelSpell storefront doesn’t receive them.
