Webnovel sent me a contract offer, should I sign it?
- Edited
Lucian_Valroy seek professional counseling and maybe ask another publisher. Then choose according to the terms offered.
Just don't rush the decision. People here might not have your best interest in mind
So I was writing on an app called wattpad just for fun, it was a continuation of someone else’s book(yes I had permision) and I got a messeges saying the wanted to sign a Non-exclusive contract with me? For Webnovel......does this just happen? They said they read the first few chapter I had posted and they said they like it. Should I sign it? Should I ask for a royalty contract? How big of a deal is this? I would like to stay anonymous and I don’t really care for getting paid......I don’t think I’m understanding how big of a deal this is.......how many people get offered a contract with a company!?!?!?!?

Dear Olivia it happened to me too, I've been writing some peotry and other unfinished books yet they said they liked my style that I quite find rather lousy and lacking. And now they are asking for me to sign a contract with them, the problem is that there is no limitation date in the contract and what creeped me more is that any book I would write after this one (Rmina the one I'm writing currently) will be theirs by law
Olivia_Tippit I know what you mean I'm 14 and was also on wattpad and they offered me the exact same thing you don't have to sign but if it means pay I can sponsor my friends up and coming company and I generally need money anyway so I'm gonna take it
Hi! I'm thirteen and have been writing a story on Wattpad for a while. I was sent a message saying that they wanted to offer a
non-exclusive contract for my novels currently on the site. I was wondering if that meant that they owned the book that I had written and the ones I want to write in the future. Also, how would I sign a contract? I've read a bunch of things saying that you need a contract to get payed. Would I get payed if I sign a non-exclusive contract? Again, I'm only thirteen, so I don't really need money, but I wouldn't mind it. My mom also knows that I've been writing a book for a while, but I never told her what it was called. So, I hope that I don't have to get her involved. I doubt this is that big of a deal, but I just want to make sure I know before I sign it.
Kat_Rat I'm 12, but I have been writing a book called Angel in Love(It's about rape), and my parents don't even know I am, but my sister does know, so a couple months ago I had signed the Royal contact, and had been writing ever since I had signed it
Darth_Xiane but what if I take a long time like let's say a couple of years. Do you think they'll redraw?
Sidders_10 how was The contract. If you took it?
Ivey_Weeks okay and how has it been?
Been over a year since they offered me a contract for my book, still get a new extension of the contract every so often even though when I first refused I made my stance of non acceptance pretty clear. Starting to think like most official processes, the contract extention process is automated and very little of it is touched by human hands.
If work_onsite == requirements
{
Extend offer
Then
Hand to editors
}
If contract_offer refused
{
Wait six months
Then
Return to start
}
Darth_Xiane so they continued giving you new versions?
Yup. Even after I refused the initial I got two others. Eventually I just let the third sit in inkstone since the system doesn't seem to want to take 'not interested'. Its not that the contract differs mind you, they didn't 'sweeten the deal' by any stretch. Its the same contract just extended again and again and again. Hence my conclusion that part of the system is automated. Webnovel has its set contracts... they just don't seem to take no at face value
In short even if you refuse to contract up, webnovel won't blacklist you, they'll just wait to offer you the opportunity again later. Which is a nice feature I admit.
Darth_Xiane True. But do you think you'll have any interest in the future?
Darth_Xiane True. But do you think you'll have any interest in the future?
Not for the book in question. It is after all my first attempt at writing in thirty years. Webnovel might have standards lower than a slugs belly, but mine are a bit higher.
I was given an offer of a contract by webnovel. How do l sign it on my phone? I have filled my basic info and havent passed the author info yet.I tried tapping 'next step' but it isn't working.What should I do next?
Maybe you have left a gap somewhere. Probably where you have to upload a photo of your id. I'm also on the same process but on the bank details.
