#What is copyright and what happens to my copyright if I sign the contract?

Copyright, for an author, primarily signifies your exclusive right to distribute and showcase your book on various platforms.

Exclusive Contract: When you enter an exclusive contract with GoodNovel, you grant us the exclusive rights to your book. This means that the book can only be available on GoodNovel and no other platform. However, this doesn't imply that someone else can rewrite or claim your work. You remain the book's author and retain creative control over the story's direction and conclusion. The restriction lies in the book's distribution—it cannot be showcased on multiple platforms or transformed into formats like audiobooks unless it's through GoodNovel.

Non-exclusive Contract: With a non-exclusive contract, you retain the freedom to publish your story on multiple platforms. While you can only have one exclusive contract for a book, there's no limit to the number of non-exclusive contracts you can have with various platforms. Any derivation products from your book are allowed to sign non-exclusively with other platforms.

#What if my book(s) are on other illegal/pirate platforms？ Can I still sign contracts with you?

Yes. There are 2 ways to solve this problem.

1. You can file a DMCA notice to the platforms that infringe your copyright.

2. You could talk to your editor in GoodNovel and they can help you or give you advice on this. If you have already signed contracts with GoodNovel, we can help you send a DMCA notice or teach you how to send it yourself. You can also seek help in our social media communities, where you can find many fellow authors who are willing to offer help.
