    Someone invited me to write on Webnovel through wattpad and I don't know if I should say yes or not. I feel as though i'm undeserving of it.

      One of the ways to find out if you should accept the contract is to first post part of your story on Webnovel. If you see many people adding it to their library and you were able to get at least 50,000-100,000 views in your first month on Webnovel that could be a sign your book will do well. There have been authors who sign the contract without first testing the waters and were only making $1 per month and not many people were reading or adding their book. Remember that Webnovel only pays if you the author reach $200 royalty after the 50% split (you must make $400 before the 50% royalty split)

    I've been contacted by a web novel editor and am feeling kinda lost... I'm not yet at the age where I'm ready to be signing contracts, but I want to know my options. I would greatly appreciate some insight on this. But one thing that really confuses me is the fact that I've only posted one chapter. I don't understand how they can evaluate my ability on one chapter...

    I got approached last year and have also debated on this as I was given a set of instructions to follow before a contract is presented but I was explained the outline of each. The only thing that gets me wary is the fact that the editor hadn't even read the work itself. I feel approached based on views that had been accumulated over the time that the work was completed (Done in 2014 and left to be seen till now). I wouldn't want to sign my rights away then slave to get the books promotional materials done etc. And there are so many uncomfortable points in this video alone. Are most contracts like this for writers? Also, has anyone signed on successfully and is somewhat satisfied?
