Hello guys, I just got a contract offer. I was given two choices: A non-exclusive and a royalty contract. Which do you think is better? I don't want to be at a disadvantage. I welcome any and all kinds of advice. Thank you.
Contract!!!
pelzy royalty contract :D
- Edited
pelzy oooooh.
Okay so this is my opinion and my personal preference. So like don't take it as a factual thing.
I was also wondering that if I had to select a contract which one I would go for. I don't know the details for any of the contracts (as in what is written in the contract itself) but based on what I do know I was leaning towards non-exclusive simply because I fear that they'd hand my project off to someone else. But apparently hiring a ghost writer is pretty expensive and if my novel isn't making like tons of money, they might not do that.
So now I'm thinking exclusive is a good idea. Especially because in case I get time off to write and I can write a chapter daily of 1.5k or more words for a month. Then I could be eligible for the $200 mgs or something.
But those are just my thoughts

is this from personal experience?

pelzy if I was offered a contract, based on my current thinking I'd go for royalty.
But I have not read the actual terms of the contract, so in the end my decision will depend on what is written in the contract. But if everything in the contract is acceptable to me then I'd go for royalty, yes.
pelzy yes
pelzy
please choose royalty contract, I chose that mine too! Are you a minor though? 'Cause I am LOL
pelzy definitely accept the royalty one. hehehe. i've been earning a stable amount of 200 dollars per month in one novel and i couldn't be happier than i am today. hehehe. planning on adding 2 more novels and make it contracted also to net me 600 dollars per month... hope this helps. glhf writing! cheers!
pelzy Definitely royalty. You won't be able to do anything with your book anyways, it's better to earn something. In royalty, you will get 200$ per months if you upload a chapter of 1.5k daily. But I would suggest you read a contract first and if everything is acceptable to you only the accept the contract.
Ohh yes, I forgot to add something. You will get 200$ only when you go premium before that only gift feature would be unlock.

bleedingpapers congrats, so how is it going? Royalty or EMP?
bleedingpapers I received a system notification and they'll be offering a contract. But I'm still 16 turning 17 this Nov. 3. What ID can I use???
Also I CAN'T apply for a driver's license. My mom will kill me.
Littlepunnie
If you don’t have a valid ID, you would have to use your parents.
bleedingpapers congratulations
RJMidnight I don't have a passport or driving licence. Can I use my country's people identity card?
Vrinda_Khanna
When you say ‘country’s person identity card,‘ you mean an ID before the driver’s license? Or are you talking about something else?
A passport is not needed. The contract needs a valid ID (an identification card)
In my country, there is PAN ( permanent account number). I also have a government-issued identity card.
Vrinda_Khanna
The government issued one is the one you need to use
