I was offered a contract but since I wrote in Spanish I did not accept, then my sister told me that she would help me with the translation and I sent her another message but they did not respond to T.T and now I do not know how to communicate
Webnovel Contract???
OHH sorry

Hi There Don_offl
I am the author Of the book called Forbidden Forest I was also offered Two contracts But I decline it. Here my advice for you. If you are Writing just for Fun and have no interest in Doing it Professionally you should Sign the Contract and Make some Money.
However, if you are serious about your work and plan to make this a Full-time Job I would advise you not to Sign When I first got my contract I was only at 20k views. I was happy because I have Been looking for a book company to work with. However, When I got the contract I was Sadly Disappointed The first thing I did not like about the Contract was the Restriction On Social Media.
You will not be able to post anything about your book on Social Media for some that not a big deal But for me it is.
Most of my Fans is on Facebook and other platforms I love talking with them, posting New chapters and having Discussion about my book,{ It oddly satisfying to me}
That will be all gone If I Sign Another thing that annoyed me was the Rights issues.
I agree that a publishing company Should have some Rights to your book But I Expected the rights to be 50/50 I thought It would be a partnership. But I was WRONG you will have no rights to your own book Noting Zero, Nada not only that any new work that you put out.
Unrelated to the book you sign with They Will have Right over that book also. For Example, I have Two Different Book that is unrelated meaning different plots, characters, plan, and Background. In their contract, they can claim rights to all of them.
You will have no Say in your Own Work they can even replace you if you refuse to Write I have worked hard to come up with a plot, Characters, Background, and plan for my Story not to Mention the Countless hours of Writing it.
To have no Rights to your Own book is just Unfair it feels like a thief stealing your baby away from you. Any money you make will go Straight to the Company.
To me the Contract was just not Worth it, Even after me reading it for myself I was still optimistic and went to talk to Some name Chole. She did nothing to ease my Fear but only made it worst by lying that policy was not in the contract.
After that Experience, I decide not to Sign but to Continue to Write my Books to my Fans Every Experience is different you may not have the same Experiences as I did. This Post is not to Slander Web Novel but to share my experiences with others.

who am I supposed to contact the editors???
Actually I was on wattpad, they sent me a DM and talked about this contract that they want to work on with me
So I came to this platform and I started a new book, I recieved the contract but it was a bit dim and blurry in a lot of its clauses what made me unable to decide whiether to participate in or to step out ?
10days has passed since the first contract, I didn't reply to their offer, but today I found an other contract offered to me
I would really like to talk to someone about this, but I don't know how? if you could lead me to someone I'd be greatful
WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL
Hello there
I got a DM on wattpad last month from one of your workers I guess, who talked about the possibility of a non exclusive contract with your platform
In 10 days period I have recieved two contract, yet I'm still unable to participate, rather saying that I'm still afraid to this offer, there is a lot of clauses that I couldn't understand
No time limitation of the contract, and the exclusive ownership of Webnovel to every book I write in the future are something that scared the shit out of me in your contract
so if you could delight me with more specific information I'd be glad
GonsunQian
Me toooo
please if you have any infos
I'll be glad
Hi
I got a message from Quek Jia Jun on wattpad.
Long story short, I chose the nonexclusive contract and I haven't gotten a response.
Also, I can't see my book on webnovels again.
