FAQ

Q:
My book is already completed and I want to upload all words at once instead of
updating it daily. How much will I receive?
A:
If your book(s) is already completed or already has a lot of words in it, you can
contact your senior editor to discuss it. We will find the best plan for your book!
Q:
When will I get my income under the new plan?
A:
The new plan will start from February 24, 2025. The income in February will be transferred in March.
Q:
All my exclusive books were signed before July 1, 2022. Can I get the rewards under the new plan?
A:
The new plan is applied to all exclusive contracts that are in effect after February 24, 2025.
Q:
How can I get the Signing Bonus?
A:
The Signing Bonus is ONLY for Exclusive Contracts. You need to upload 30k words within 60 days after your book is signed to claim this bonus. But please note: the 30k words you upload for Signing Bonus will NOT be counted for MAB.
Q:
Find it hard to meet the standard of views for Standing-out Bonus. May I use any tools to help me increase my views?
A:
Sorry, but views increased by cheating will NOT be counted.
Q:
I have 2 ongoing books and I have updated a total of 50k words. Will l get the MAB?
A:
No, we only pay MAB once a month when one of your book reaches the requirement (50k words and 25 days in a month) though you may have many books onging.
Q:
I've received the MAB 3 times already as of today. Within this month, I’ve met the word count requirement for the MAB, but my total monthly profit share across all my works is under $20. Can I still receive the MAB this month?
A:
Unfortunately, no. Since you've already received the MAB 3 times, from the 4th time onward, you’ll need to have a monthly profit share of at least $20 to qualify for the MAB for that month.
Q:
What are the cases where my exclusive book would lose its completion bonus after my book was marked completed?
A:
If you have lost your MAB right due to plagiarism or malicious content (massive amount of repetitive content, etc), THEN you might also lose your completion bonus, depending on the quality of the book.
Q:
What's the regulation on AI creation?
A:
We do not encourage AI writing, however, if you intend to use AI as a tool to correct grammar, use it wisely. And AI creation DOES NOT guarantee or promise you any type of contracts.
Q:
What's the penalty based on AI creation?
A:
There is no strict punishment so far; however, we still evaluate books based on content quality. If the quality of a book is in question due to the use of AI, all bonuses and profit shares may be subject to deduction. Editors also reserve the right to remove your book(s) from the app.
