Usually, novels that have been completed online can be published, but this depends on the decision of the bookstore and the publishing house. Some might prefer to wait for new novels to be published in order to have more market opportunities on them. In addition, the publishing company may edit or rewrite the novel that has been completed online to make it more in line with the format and structure of traditional books. If the novel has been completed online, the publishing company may consider adapting it into an audio book or video game instead of directly publishing it as a physical book. Therefore, the author and the author need to negotiate and ensure that the overall quality of the novel and its appropriate forms of presentation are suitable for the final successful publication.
