Nowadays, novels can be roughly divided into two types: online novels and traditional novels. Here I mainly talk about the payment of online novels.
Network novel is a kind of fast-food literature, and it is also the writing method that most authors will choose now. If you haven't written or been exposed to online novels, I suggest you find your favorite genre to read and learn.
At present, there are many kinds of novels on the internet, which are divided into male frequency and female frequency according to different readers. Please refer to the major novel websites for specific classification.
At present, all major websites basically accept the author's email submission, and they can also create their own accounts on the website to publish. Before submitting the manuscript, we should prepare a preface and an outline of the whole story of about 30 thousand words.
Buying and selling are basically divided into
Buy-out is to sell the copyright directly to others at one time, and the work has nothing to do with you from now on.
Transfer. Transfer has the time of copyright transfer. For example, the transfer of film and television copyright for six years means that the copyright is transferred to others for six years, and others are filming TV dramas in these six years. After six years, the copyright is returned to you, and you can continue to sell the copyright; Another example is the permanent transfer of game copyright, that is, the game copyright of the novel is permanently transferred to the game company. This "permanent transfer" is a buyout.
Game companies develop novels into games to make money. Let me explain here that few game companies only buy out the copyright of the game, and if they want to buy it, they will buy out all the copyright. Buying out all copyrights is the biggest loss for the author himself. In the past, the author didn't understand the value of his novel and sold all the copyright directly. Now everyone is too smart to be cheated.
Authorization. Authorization means that you allow others to use the elements in your novel on his goods or other things. For example, you authorize the comic book studio to adapt your novel into a comic book; Or authorize a food company to use the elements in your novel on the packaging of snacks such as drinks.
