Is signing up a contract with webnovel really that bad?
Uh... Hi. I got a non-exclusive contract from an editor. I sent an email to her as asked and also the Facebook address she dropped. I got a message from the Facebook address first, though it was another Editor. Is that a problem? Plus, when I got a message from her later, I noticed there was a difference in the steps. One required inkstone and another said nothing about inkstone. Who else had steps that had nothing to fo with inkstone?
And does anyone know how the non-exclusive contract earnings are made?
Stephanie_Nzekwue Non-exclusive contracts are not through Inkstone. You should direct questions to the non-exclusive content provider.
Deleteduser87 you have to inform them not to change my story has been signed and contracted but I reused my editor to change my. Story...
yaoyueyi suppose people don't pay to read do we still get paid for signing contract ?

CKtalon oh. Thank you

I just wanted to say ... I absolutely love your answer. It's realistic and to the point but not many would realise the truth of your post.
Deleteduser87 before I signed the very first thing I asked was “will I still keep my copyrights?” In which they responded yes. That means I’m still able to distribute my story on other platform and I got that response in writing, contract or not. Ask questions if you’re not sure. My issue now is that I’ve emailed my editor for updates and I’ve been ghosted. It actually goes against their clause in the contract itself. If I’m going to work with you, I would expect the very least to be sent updates. It’s just common curtesy since I’m giving you permission to publish and distribute my story on your platform.
How I deal with people who ghost. This is what I wrote. “I haven’t heard back from you for a while so I assume that you are no longer interested in my story. In that case I would like to withdraw the contract and my consent to let you edit and publish my story on my platform. I appreciate that my content may not be suitable for every platform and apologise that it didn’t work out”. And that’s the end of that. Contract withdrawn, I wrote it in writing. There are many other publishers out there who will work with you and not “ghost” you. Luckily I sat down and read the contract beforehand. Mine is a non exclusive so I’m basically only giving them permission to edit and distribute while I still retain my rights. As for royalties. Well, I’m not expected to make any more than $5 a month but I write for fun so it really doesn’t bother me.
Hope this helps x

Well... You are burning my brain cells so much just to let me read those.
"DoNt R34D Th3n?!?1?1?1?1?1"
I will give you good advice if you want to earn but write for fun.
Get yourself an IRL job and never come back anymore and write on your own blog!
really, man. Nothing could be treated as "For fun" anymore once you are really into something that will pay you.
officialjosiej You're better off with Patreon man. Lol. Do you even read the non-exclusive in details?
Contract questions are like the new privilege post on the forums these days.
I've read through the contract and the obligations section is a bit more loose than bigger publishing houses. I've rejected contracts before - and it's always okay to do so. If you're unsure, go with your gut.
