2024-10-29 19:42:56#What are the things I need to do after I sign a contract?
Here are 3 things you might want to check after you sign the contract with MegaNovel:
1. Fill in your payment info so that we'll be able to pay you. Go to your personal page using a DESKTOP and you'll find it. (You can't fill in payment info on your phone)
2. Usually, after you have 10 or 15 chapters, you can apply for premium. Please contact your editor about setting the premium chapters (paid chapters) for your book.
Most of our books open premium somewhere between the 5th - 15th chapter, and where there's a cliffhanger. You can decide on your own and ask your editor's opinion.
3. In case you're wondering why your book(s) still don't have a lot of reads, that's probably because you haven't reached 50k words so we can't put your book in the recommendation list on the home page. Talk to your editor after you upload 50k words and they will arrange recommendations for your books so that more readers will be able to see it.
#Can I edit my book after I sign the contract?
Yes. But if it's a major change, please inform your editor about it first because after you sign the contract. All edits will need to be reviewed by your editor in the system. But don't worry, the unedited version will still be there before the edit gets approved.
#I upload a chapter twice by mistake, now I can't delete it, what should I do?
You can’t delete the chapters in your signed books. But your editor can, so please talk to them and they can delete for you.
#My book is complete; how do I mark it complete?
Just tell your editor and they can mark it complete for you.
Notice: Once it's marked complete, you can't add new chapters to it. But you can edit the existing chapters. Also, you could ask your editor to change the status from complete to ongoing.
#I want to write a sequel for my contracted book, can I get a contract for it?
You can apply for contract for this book, and you'll get a contract if it meets our standards.
#I asked my editor to lock the chapters/delete a chapter/review an edited chapter for me, but it's still not locked/deleted/reviewed when I check them.
It's because you checked using your mobile phone and your own account. Chapters are not locked to their own authors, so you need to log out of your account. Also, If you want to check any changes made to your book, please use a DESKTOP website, or clear your phone cache first!! Because the content you opened on your mobile phone before will never change unless you clear cache and reopen it. If it's still not locked, please contact your editor after 24hrs and ask again.
#Why is my attendance bonus showing $0? What does it mean?
The bonus number may not be correct, as it's based on data 2 days ago. Your current month's payment may show incorrectly because the system is still calculating, or you haven't updated for 25 days a month. The correct number usually shows in the beginning of the next month.

Hi, our fellow writers, as you all know by now, MegaNovel expects novels within the genre of System, Urban, Fantasy, Sci-fi, Adventure, Games, Paranormal, Mystery/Thriller/Horror, etc. Usually, novels with a MC who experiences a major character growth throughout the story and including elements like leveling up, weak-to-strong, face-slapping will be the most popular ones on our platform. For male genre novels, the leading character usually is a man. It’s easier for the readers to empathize with a MC who is of a same gender. The most important note to remember is the MC must focus more on empowering himself instead of only care about being involved in any romantic relationship (unless he does it for face-slapping or he cares about improving himself equally). Tone down the romantic side of the story, the novel must not be all about falling in love. Here are some examples for novels we do or do not expect:<
