Exclusive And Non-Exclusive Contracts

Being a signed author of GoodNovel is an exciting milestone in your writing career. We offer two types of contracts:

1. Exclusive 

2. Non-exclusive 

An EXCLUSIVE contract means that your novel CAN ONLY be published on GoodNovel. If the novel has been published on other platforms, you must remove it within 30 days. The sooner, the better. It is permissable, however, to publish a few of your free chapters on other platforms to entice readers to read your story on GoodNovel.

A NON-EXCLUSIVE contract means your novel CAN ALSO be published on other platforms. But please note that you can only have it pay-to-read on other platforms, NOT free to read.

#How does the income differ between Exclusive and Non-Exclusive contracts?

Regardless of whether you opt for an exclusive or non-exclusive contract, you will receive 50% of the net revenue that your book earns. On our platform, readers pay to unlock premium chapters, and you will take home half of what they spend on your work. 

What follows is the new Benefits Plan for both exclusive and non-exclusive contracts that went into effect onJune1st, 2023:

Exclusive Contract Rewards:

1. Signing Bonus:

$100 will be credited to your account if your exclusive book reaches 30,000 words within 60 days of signing the contract.

2. Monthly Attendance Bonus (MAB):

Earn $150 for the first three times you update your exclusive book with 50,000 words or more and have 25 updating days in a calendar month.

From the fourth occurrence onward, in addition to meeting the word count and updating days requirements, your monthly profit share needs to exceed $20 to qualify for the MAB.

The MAB is available for up to six months.

Updates are tracked based on GMT+8 time.

You must first claim the signing bonus to become eligible for the MAB. Note: The initial 30,000 words contributing to the signing bonus do not count towards the MAB.

If you halt updates for six months or more, you forfeit any future MAB.

3. Completion Bonus:

120,000 to 150,000 words: $250

150,001 to 200,000 words: $325

More than 200,000 words: $400

*Note: You may lose all bonuses if you didn't update equal to or more than 6 consecutive months.

Non-Exclusive Contract Rewards:

You'll receive 50% of the amount readers spend on your premium chapters. The earnings correlate with your book's popularity.

Additionally, if you complete your book on our platform first, there's a $50 reward for every non-exclusive book exceeding 120,000 words.
