The application method for Qidian Chinese Network is as follows: First, open Qidian Chinese Network and register an account.(If you already have an account, you can log in directly), click on the "Personal Center" in the upper left corner, then click on the "Author Area", and then click on "Become an Author Immediately" to enter the information filling page. After filling in the required information, submit the application; In addition, new works could also be uploaded at Qidian. Generally, when they reached 100,000 words, they could apply for a contract in the works management. At the same time, there were also cases where editors took the initiative to contact the author. After the editor contacted the author and agreed to sign the contract, they would provide the contract and the contract. After printing and signing, they would send it to the editorial department. The flow of the work was not the main condition for assessing the signing of the contract. The main condition was the quality of the work. During the application process, the minimum word count for a direct submission was 6000 words. After 6000 words, the work would appear in the editor's background, but it had to be avoided on weekends and holidays for the editor to see it. Internal submission was to know whether the work could be signed earlier, but it could not be submitted more than once. It required an editor to confirm that he did not want the manuscript before he could submit it to another editor. Moreover, internal submission was not a job that the editor had to do. The editor could not read the internal submission, but the editor had to check the direct submission.
There were two ways to apply for a contract with Qidian: 1. ** Internal Projection **: - ** Requirements **: Every editor has different requirements. In terms of word count, 6,000 words are usually enough, and 4,000 words might be enough. Some editors require an outline, while others don't. - ** After the manuscript is approved **: If the editor tells you that the manuscript has been approved, it is basically the same as signing a contract. The subsequent publication of the book is just a process. - ** Note **: You can only submit to one editor. If you submit more than one manuscript without proper reason, you will be blocked. If this editor doesn't pass the manuscript, you can submit to another editor. If you encounter an editor who reads the manuscript slowly, it will take more time. However, some editors would also read their manuscripts on weekends and in the early hours of the morning. 2. ** Directly Send a Book (Directly Reckless)**: - ** Operation method **: Open the book directly through Author's Assistant and wait for the editor to choose. - ** Strengths **: All editors have the opportunity to see the work, even if the work is a Xianxia genre. If the urban fantasy editor or light novel editor thinks it is good, they can also sign the contract. - ** Disadvantages **: You will be anxious before you receive the contract. If you send out the book on Saturday and Sunday, you may not receive the contract even if you write 30,000 words, because the editor does not work on weekends. You can enter the editing platform of your group if you write at least 6000 words. In theory, all editors with more than 30,000 words can see it, but other groups of editors may not necessarily read it when they are busy. - ** Release time suggestion **: It's better to release the book on Saturday. Write 4,000 words a day. When the number of words is enough on Monday, the editor will be able to see it when he goes to work. If the editor is busy on Monday, he will basically see it on Tuesday. If you release the book on Thursday or Friday, you may have to survive the weekend when the editor is off. Of course, you can also release the book on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. In addition, if the number of words published meets the requirements, but the editor has not contacted the contract for more than 50,000 words, there may be some problems with the work. If you feel that the contract is hopeless and do not intend to continue writing, you should also check if there are any short posts within a week, because you may also receive short posts when you stop updating.
Qidian's response time for signing a contract was not fixed. It usually took a few weeks to a few months. Although there was no specific mention of whether the 100,000-word contract application would be replied to, based on the overall situation of the contract application, due to the number of reviewers, the quality of the work, the application time, the type of contract, the platform policy, and many other factors, it was not certain that the 100,000-word contract application would be replied to at a specific time.
In terms of probability, the probability of Qidian signing a contract was higher than that of internal investment. The advantage of internal investment was that they could know the fate of the work earlier, which meant that they could know if they could sign the contract earlier, but it had some disadvantages. During internal submission, one could not submit more than one manuscript. The article could only be submitted to one editor. Only when the editor confirmed that he did not want the article could he submit it to another editor. If three or four editors failed in a row, it would affect their confidence. Even if the final draft was approved, they would still have all kinds of worries. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The signing of Qidian in 2021 was as follows: - In terms of income, it was more common for online writers to earn an annual salary of 100,000 yuan, while "Great Gods" earned 10 million yuan a year. According to the 2021 Rich List of Online Writers, the three young masters of the Tang family, I Eat Tomatoes, and Silkworm Potato ranked in the top three with royalties of 33 million, 21 million, and 18 million respectively. The annual income of Maoni, Innocent, and Third Uncle of the Southern Sect had also exceeded millions. - Qidian's contracted writers had a high workload. For example, on July 1st, 2021, Qidian Chinese Network's contracted "Ten Years of Snow Fall" died from overwork. This reflected that many online writers rarely went out once a month, only visited their friends once or twice a year, and wrote non-stop from 9 am to 10 pm every day. - Qidian Chinese Network had a newcomer benefit. After signing the contract, the income was not fixed. It mainly depended on the number of readers supporting it. Generally speaking, a collection of about 10,000 words, a moderate number of words per day (5000 words), and a stable update (constantly updating), the average monthly income was about 1500 to 1800 yuan. In addition, there were monthly votes and full-attendance awards and other sources of income.

The approval rate of the application for a contract depended on many factors, including the quality of the work, the author's experience level, the website's review standards, and so on. Although there was no guarantee that every work in the station would be signed, many successful works had gone through a rigorous review and evaluation. If the work meets the website's contract signing criteria, the author can try to submit an application. The staff of the website would conduct a detailed evaluation and review to ensure that the quality and influence of the work met the contract standards. If the work passed the review, the author could become a contracted author of the website and obtain the corresponding rights and rewards. However, even if the work passed the review and was signed, it did not necessarily mean success. The success of the website required the author to continue to work hard, maintain good writing quality and update frequency, and maintain communication and cooperation with the website staff to ensure that the work could be fully promoted and rewarded.
At Qidian, it was difficult to sign a contract with 3,000 words. Generally, the minimum word count for a direct hair contract was 6000 words. After reaching this number, the article would appear in the backstage of the editor's group and the editor could only see it (provided that it avoided weekends and holidays). If it was for internal submission, 6,000 words would usually meet the requirements. However, different editors had different requirements. A good draft with 4,000 words might also pass. But overall, 3,000 words was still far from reaching the word count standard that the editor could see and have a greater chance of signing a contract.
At Qidian, there would be a special situation when the 30,000 words mark was reached. At 30,000 words, if the group of editors did not accept the manuscript, all the editors could see the manuscript and send it to the author. However, it was important to note that although all editors could see it, if other editors were busy, they might not check the manuscript. When submitting a book directly, the editor did not work on weekends. If the book was published on Saturday and Sunday, even if it was 30,000 words, it would not receive a short notice. In order to increase the chances of signing a contract, some other conditions had to be met. For example, the title and introduction had to be attractive.(The introduction should include elements such as the novel's cheat, highlights, suspense, and imagination to increase the chances of signing the contract); The opening story should be centered on the protagonist and the protagonist should appear as soon as possible; The first three chapters (within 6000 words) should include the protagonist, events, and cheat.(Additional points for the system), the upcoming crisis, and other elements; the first chapter of the opening story has a reversal of the plot, the protagonist has a golden finger, and the golden finger has a certain imagination; after the reversal of the opening story, the protagonist uses the golden finger to turn the situation around; the opening story has to have a sense of anticipation, bury the foreshadowing, etc. In addition, the sentences had to be fluent, the wording and sentences had to be at least above the level of primary school students, and the updates had to be stable, which would also help in signing the contract.
If you have written 40,000 words at Qidian and haven't signed the contract, there may be the following reasons: 1. ** Not up to the editor's attention standard **: - The title and introduction were not attractive. They did not contain elements such as golden fingers, highlights, suspense, or imagination. They could not attract the editor's attention to the work. - The main character appeared too late, or the first three chapters (within 6000 words) did not fully present the main character (character), events (plot), cheat (if the system and other elements were present, it would be better), the upcoming crisis, and other elements. - There was no plot reversal in the first chapter, the protagonist did not activate the cheat, or the cheat lacked a sense of anticipation, growth, interest, and so on. - The opening plot did not use a cheat to turn the situation around reasonably, and the crisis setting was not attractive enough. - The opening lacked a sense of anticipation. There was no foreshadowing, suspense, or development of the plot. It did not give the reader the desire to continue reading. 2. ** Basic writing problems **: The sentences are not fluent, and the level of diction and sentence formation is low, affecting the editor's overall evaluation of the work. 3. ** It's related to the time of direct submission **: If it's a direct submission, pay attention to the time of submission. If the book was published on Saturday and Sunday, although 40,000 words had been written, the editor did not work on weekends and had not seen the manuscript yet. It was impossible to confirm whether or not to sign the contract. And even if it exceeded 30,000 words (40,000 words met this condition), although all editors could see it in theory, if the editor was busy, he might not pay attention to the work in time. 4. ** Flaws in the work **: From the content, there may be certain problems in the plot, character creation, story logic, etc., which caused the editor to not choose to sign the contract.
