How does WebNovel pay royalties to the author and does WebNovel provide copyright © so not to have a book stolen? Also does WebNovel put books out in paperback to bookstores and pay royalties on paperback sales to the author? What is the % to the author and does the author get to keep full rights to their book?
Royalties & copyright & printed versions
Waiting for someone better to answer but let's bump this post up:
- Webnovel offers an Exclusive Contract to Authors that you'll sign, it means that Webnovel holds exclusive rights to your work but you are known as the Author.
- The method of payment is through bank and the net income is split 50/50 between you and Webnovel.*
- As Webnovels tend to go for long-running serials as opposed to traditionally published books, they don't publish paperbacks and neither do they do e-books.
*Net Income = (Actual Income - Expenses) x 50%
** Expenses = Apple and Google App Hosting?
