You could upload 10k words of your story directly on the platform and apply for the Exclusive contract. Each book should go through the review process. If all the requirements are met, you receive contract approval and a ready-to-sign agreement. In other cases, you receive the rejection with a specified reason. If additional clarification is needed during the review, our team will connect you via email.

As a platform, we want to provide our readers with quality content and our authors with great opportunities. Our editing team checks carefully if the book cover, annotation, and chapters meet our requirements. The Exclusive book could be rejected if it contains:

- Prohibited content

- Grammar mistakes

- Incorrect writer details

- Poor editing

- Plagiarism

- Already published

- Inappropriate annotation

- Low-quality book cover

We also provide the Compliance (KYC) check of the author's data to make sure that our cooperation is legit and transparent.

Our editorial and legal teams cooperate to conduct a fast and high-quality review.

You need to fill in such gaps as:

- Name: your full legal first and last name which could be proved by your ID;

- Passport: your ID/Passport number;

- Email: email to which you have access as it is a necessary part of the contract’s signing;

- Citizenship: the name of the country whose resident you are;

- Address: your legal address of registration.

No, such applications will be rejected. Using not your legal name blocks the ability to provide the KYC check and affects the agreement’s effectiveness.

KYC means Know Your Customer and sometimes Know Your Client. KYC or KYC check is the mandatory process of identifying and verifying the client's identity when opening an account and periodically over time. In other words, banks must make sure that their clients are genuinely who they claim to be.

KYC verification is a mandatory procedure for identifying a person. We do this check in order to protect the platform (authors and readers) from possible fraudulent activities. This check includes all identification procedures (passport data and other data that we request at the stage of applying for a contract), as well as their analysis. That is why it is important that you provide your correct data in order to pass the review.

No. The flow of the application process doesn’t contain such a requirement. If you don’t want to publish your novel before the contract is approved, you could leave the chapters in drafts. This way the team could conduct the review, but your novel is not visible for the readers.

he cover has to be attractive as it helps readers to define visually whether they want to read the novel or not. Covers that do not contain such info as the book’s title and author’s name wouldn’t be approved. The quality of the background image, font style and color also matter. We have created a guide with tips that will help you to make your book cover an eye candy: 3 Tips to Make Your Book Cover an Eye Candy

You can apply for the Exclusive contract if free chapters of the novel are placed on other sources. All paid chapters should be deleted before the application, otherwise the agreement would be rejected.

The review process usually takes up to 2 weeks. If the contract is approved, both sides need to put their signatures on it. Here all depends on you - the faster you sign, the faster the process is completed.

We provide every author with the feedback, so the reject reason is defined in a note that is visible in the email or on your writer's account. If you can fix the issue, there is a huge chance that the Exclusive contract will be approved after reapplying. If you don’t want to continue the signing process, you could request to delete the book directly via the platform.

It contradicts the terms and conditions of the Exclusive agreement. If you want to place your work on other sources, you should change the contract's type to Non-Exclusive or terminate the contract (message your editor or [email protected] if the assistance is needed). Placing the book on other sources after the contract is signed would be defined as fraudulent activity. The Exclusive contract will be terminated immediately and the book may be deleted.

You can do this if the Exclusive contract is no longer effective.

We offer two types of royalties, and they depend on the contract type. For an exclusive contract, you can choose to either receive a 15% share of gross revenues or a 60% share of net revenue. For a non-exclusive contract, you can choose to either receive a 10% share of gross revenues or a 50% share of net revenue.

Gross revenue is the total number of coins users have spent on a particular book before any deductions.

Net revenue is gross revenue minus marketing costs, transaction costs, store commissions and other expenses.

We have signing and completion bonuses. The signing bonus is a reward for adding new books to our platform. The completion bonus is a reward for finishing your book. We do not require any kind of attendance or writing schedule.

To get a signing bonus, your novel should have at least 30,000 words regardless of contract type. As for the completion bonus, your novel should have at least 75,000 words for an exclusive contract and at least 80,000 words for a non-exclusive contract.

You get a signing bonus of $50 for non-exclusive and a signing bonus of $150 for an exclusive contract. A number of signing bonuses is fully dependent on the number of books you have uploaded for both contracts. For example, you signed a non-exclusive contract and uploaded 5 novels that have more than 30,000 words. In this case, you will receive 5 signing bonuses amounting to $250 in total.

'The completion bonus is dependent on the contract type and novel's length. If you signed a non-exclusive contract, you could only get a completion bonus once. If your novel's length is more than 80,000 words but less than 150,000 words, you will get $75. If your novel's length is more than 150,000 words, you will get $125. For example, you have uploaded a novel that has 90,000 words. You will get a completion bonus of $75. Next, you decide to upload a novel that has 200,000 words. You won't get a bonus for this one since you get a completion bonus only once. Thus, make sure to upload your longest book to benefit the most! If you have an exclusive contract, the number of completion bonuses is fully dependent on the number of novels you have uploaded and the length of your novels. Length criteria: 75,000 words - 100,000 words → $150 100,000 words - 150,000 words → $200 150,000 words - 250,000 words → $300 More than 250,000 words → $400 For example, you have an exclusive contract and uploaded two novels. One novel has a length of 110,000 words, and another novel has a length of 80,000 words. This means that you will get 2 completion bonuses amounting to $350 in total.'

You can withdraw your bonuses only when your novel generates at least 50% of the bonus in royalties. For example, your signing bonus is $50. This means that your book should earn $25 so you can withdraw your bonus. The same logic applies to the completion bonus as well.

Recently, we decided to remove the Ongoing bonus, as unfortunately, we encountered such moments as fraudulent activity, plagiarism, and cheating, as well as other possible ways to bypass the system and get the required number of words. As a result, both our readers and authors who earn honestly with us began to face the consequences. We, as a platform that cares about writers and the quality content that we provide to readers, have decided to remove this bonus and present you with our version of the Monthly Attendance Bonus soon.

We are currently working on introducing our new and improved bonus to you soon. In the meantime, a small spoiler: this bonus will be very convenient and understandable, with a calendar & check-in tracking and even better conditions for exclusive ongoing of novels.

If the contract has not yet been signed by both parties on the date of this update, the book will not be considered as a book that will receive the Ongoing Bonus. There will be Signing and Completion bonuses.

If you have an exclusive contract signed and you are in the process of adding 50,000 words, we will of course pay you this bonus for that month if all the criteria are met. A little reminder: the terms are simple - all you have to do is upload 50,000 brand-new words within 30 calendar days from the effective day of the contract signing.

You can get another payout of this bonus for this month (please, check the effective date). Adding words to the book in the next months will not count towards Ongoing Bonus payouts.

The effective date is the date when your contract was signed by our legal team. If you need any assistance, please, contact your editor or [email protected].

The last Payments of the Ongoing Bonus will be processed and paid out in the first half of December.

In order to apply for this bonus - you need to contact your editor or [email protected]. We will review your application and provide feedback on whether or not it meets the criteria.

In case you have special issues, please, send an email request to [email protected].

Yes, you can request the change of the contract type directly in your account. If you have some questions, please, contact the AlphaNovel representative you were assigned or send an email to [email protected]. Our representative will guide you through the process.
