thatonetheatrekid On Wattpad, they have T&C for these things. So, it's up to you if you want to report these DM messages there or not.

Webnovel is legit. The message may not be. You're doing the right thing by checking out the source.

On contract, considering you're a minor, you'd need your parents to consent and be guarantors. So, they need to sign with you on the contract. That's something to think about, considering your parents will have reason to be interested in what you write from that point on. They'd probably need to read through it with you too.

    thatonetheatrekid join the Inkstone Discord server and directly DM LimQianYu from there. It should be them, if legit. If it's a fake message and someone is using their name, they will also be informed and will be able to take measures against impersonators.

      The invite is legit, the message was sent by bot though.

        I used to get bot messages on Wattpad all the time, you could tell very quickly if they were fake by how it was too good to be true. A non-exclusive contract sounds way too good to be true. Most of the time if they really want to get ahold of you it's through emails or the rare case of Discord. I was offered a contract for my book a month ago which caught me off guard as my book only had like 5K reads and doesn't get much to any attention comment or power stone wise. If you do ever get an offer always speak to the editor about it. They are super helpful and my own gave me step by step guides on how to do the contract. Still waiting for the contract to process but am super excited to get started!

            thatonetheatrekid me too but the one who contacted me was not QianYu even though the contents of the message were exactly the same. of the contacts she wrote at the end, I contacted her via discord. it took a day for her to reply to my message, then offer me to choose between an exclusive or non-exclusive contract. And now I'm confused which one is better to choose between the two options

                Jeonibaex Hi, I've got the same message on Wattpad, but signed by QuekJiaJun. I wrote to him/her (sorry, I have no idea if it's a male or female name) an e-mail, and I also got an offer to choose between the royalty and non-exclusive contract. I asked about the first one, it was a week ago, and I still got no response.
                I have no idea what to think about this. Have you already make a choice about which contract to choose? Did they send you a contract to read?

                    Hi, So I got the same message, from QianYu still and all the links he sent me were legit, but I was wondering if he was legit tho. So about this non-exclusive contract, who do I contact about this? I've written messages to their accounts from everywhere like instagram, through email, or even through facebook. @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL

                      Seven_kaiser are you not in the writers discord? You should join it and then you can see their name under staff and send them a dm

                      Or alternative go to inkstone and use the chat to ask

                          SuperSilentSin its easy to explain why small. Webnovel is full of trash novels. People don't take it seriously, their reputation is soooo bad people don't even trust rating.

                              Also received this message via wattpad. Which is very strange because I'm from Brazil, I don't even know how to speak English properly and my book only has 15 chapters and doesn't have as many views. It's just that I've known the webNovel website for a few years and I'm super interested, after all, who doesn't want a Non-Exclusive contract for a book that doesn't even think about publishing and writes just for fun?

                              I am afraid of being a fraud and I lose my book. However, if it is true I may miss a great opportunity.
