  1. It's $800 USD (200 x 4)
  2. They don't pay you $200 USD, they pitch in the difference if you earn less than $200 USD from your novel(s). Example: If your novel(s) earned $175 USD in a month, they will make up the $25 USD difference and send you $200 USD in payment.
  3. I doubt they will contract something that will not earn a single cent and force them into paying the entire $200 USD from their pocket every month.

      Annex 3 in contract agreement. attachmant: Outline of work. For outline of work the handwriting will be accepted or typed . Exactly what to write in it.

        If you're considered for a contract it normally means that your novel should be able to earn 200$ per month. The MGS is quite strict. Publish 1499 words one day instead of 1500 and you're not elligible for it anymore.

        The only reason why the MGS exists is to encourage the new authors to get a good release routine (daily release) which is the best way to earn money and secure enough readers' attention. I think most new authors succeed to earn 100-200$ or more after one or two months being premium. So Webnovels doesn't lose much money on this (It was different though when the MGS was at 400$) and what they lose on these authors they will make it back on the long run.

        Back on the topic, editors read every new novel. Not totally, but at least the first few chapters. They check then your grammar, your stats like collection,whether your reader community is active and so on. They can also make a contract proposal if your novel is high quality (good grammar, writing style ect..) even if your novel at the moment has no marketing potential or is not popular.

        Two reasons for this:
        -The popular trend can change (Right now it is CEO Romance for Female and Western Fantasy/Video Games/Apocalypse for males, basically the Spirity Contest genres). If tomorrow, sci-fi becomes the trend they will be lacking this type of stories ect..
        -To increase the diversity and quality of the novels here to eventually bring new readers on the app.

            Titu_Thatal we can publish as per your schedule even after the contact (though it is best to maintain 7chap/week.).

            But when your story goes premium, that is they lock your chapters behind paywall, you have to publishe atleast 1500 words (not 1499 words) per day. Otherwise you will not get any money from then on.

            P.s. if your story earns 200 usd each month you don't have to worry about it.

                whoknowwhat Thanku very much but now I come straight to the point. I already got the contract but I still haven't submitted it is fully.

                And the main thing is after they sent me contract, due to urgent matter I have not been able to update the chapter from four to five days. Will this affect my income in the future?

                I have some questions about my contract. It would be easy if I got the answer of those questions.

                1. What to write in outline of work. And if it is handwritten in Outline of work, will it be ok?
                1. Is it necessary to have my name along with my signature on power of attorney.
                1. will it be ok if I use my ID card name's along with signature.

                If you tell me, I can submit the contract soon.

                    Titu_Thatal 1. The outline can be hand written but it have to be in the place in the contract.
                    Don't need to explain everything just 4-5 lines detailing your story. (This is what my editor had told me.)
                    2. Yes. It is needed. And that should be your original name.
                    3. Yes you have to use the name in the id. Remember they are case sensitive. So you have to use capital words if it was the case in your id.

                    P.S. I have told you what they have told me. But it is better to talk to them. Just open inkstone from your browser, on the left side you will get theur discord. Join it. Dm any of the editors. They are super helpful.

                        Outline means your synopsis, that's all. As for your chapters, no, it will not. Your MGS will only be affected when you go premium. Before you go premium, they will not count the days you go on hiatus, etc.
