How much was the fee for the first submission?
The payment for the first submission varied according to the type of work, platform, region, and other factors. Generally speaking, the amount of remuneration would be more than the reward for publishing a successful work. The following are some common royalties: 1. Online novels: The remuneration for online novels varies from a few hundred to a few thousand yuan depending on the platform and subject matter. Some well-known online novel platforms, such as Yuewen Group, and Baidu Literature, would pay a relatively high fee of several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan. 2. Literature: The remuneration for literary works also depends on the type of work. Generally speaking, the first draft's pay was relatively low, but after the editor reviewed it, the pay would gradually increase. Some were well-known, but they also needed to have a certain degree of fame and strength. 3. Poetry works: The royalties for poetry works are usually higher, but they also vary according to the subject matter and platform. Generally speaking, the platform and editors would reward outstanding poetry works with a fee ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand yuan. It was important to note that the initial submission fee was generally low and required a certain amount of creative strength and influence. At the same time, the royalties were only a reward mechanism.
