I'm a fan of novels, so I can't access real-time information about the novel publishing competition. However, if you need to find related novel publishing competitions, you can search relevant publishing industry websites or social media accounts for the latest competition information.
The following steps were usually required for a publishing house to publish a novel:
1. Adapting a novel: Adapting the story, characters, and worldview of the novel to make it suitable for publication.
2. Selection of topics: The publishing house will plan suitable topics for publication according to market demand and readers 'preferences.
3. Creation and adaptation: The author will create and adapt a novel suitable for publication according to the requirements of the publishing house.
4. Review: The publishing house reviews the author's novel to see if the content, format, writing style, and other aspects meet the publishing requirements.
5. Typography and Proofreading: To make sure that the words, format, and pictures of the novels that have passed the review meet the publishing requirements.
6. Print and distribution: The publishing house will print the novel into books and distribute them to various bookstores, libraries, and other sales channels.
Different publishing houses may have different publishing processes, but the above steps are usually necessary. At the same time, the publishing house would also strictly check the quality of the novel to ensure that the content of the book was legal, healthy, and positive.
Releasing a novel and putting it on the shelves were two different things.
A novel release referred to the release of the novel's text content on online literature platforms such as Qidian, Genesis Chinese Network, etc. for readers to read. After the novel was published, the author could update the plot and chapters of the novel on the platform and interact with the readers.
Putting a novel on the shelves referred to uploading a novel to a specific chapter catalog on the online literature platform for readers to buy and read. The novel had to meet the platform's requirements such as word count, plot, and so on. It had to go through the platform's review before it could be successfully published. After the novel was published, the author could get more income and reader support on the platform, and at the same time, he could accumulate more writing experience.
It should be noted that different online literature platforms might have different requirements for the publication and listing of novels. Therefore, authors needed to publish and put on the shelves according to the requirements of the platform.
A novel publishing house or publishing group usually refers to an organization that specializes in publishing novels. Its main business includes editing, publishing, distributing, and marketing novels. In China, examples of novel publishing houses or publishing groups include the National Library of China Press, China National Book import and export (group) corporation, China Science and Technology Press, Shanghai Century publishing group, Zhejiang Ancient Books Press, etc.
A novel publishing house or a publishing group usually had a professional editorial team responsible for screening, adapting, editing, and proofreading novels to ensure that their quality met the publishing standards. These editing teams would then submit the novel to a publishing house or group for typography, printing, and distribution. In China, novel publishing houses or publishing groups would also meet with readers through various channels such as bookstores, online bookstores, e-books, etc. to sell and promote.
Generally speaking, every publishing house had its own submission requirements and standards. If you want to submit a less competitive submission, you need to read their submission guidelines carefully and make sure that your article meets their requirements.
However, if you have a touching experience, you can consider writing this story into a novel and submitting it to some novel-based publishing houses. For example, you could submit to a novel journal under a publishing house or choose some publishing platforms that focused on novels such as Qidian novels, Douban reading, etc.
When submitting, you can choose some well-known publishing houses or platforms so that it's easier to get the editor's recognition and attention. At the same time, you can also increase your chances of being discovered by the publishing house by participating in some literary competitions or recommending yourself.
In short, submitting a manuscript required careful preparation and reading, as well as luck and hard work. I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you.
The original novel website with the fastest updates, the highest click-through rate, the greatest competition, and the better publishing rate can refer to the following example:
Qidian Chinese Network: It is one of the most famous novel websites in China, with a large readership and an active author community. Qidian Chinese website updates very quickly. There are a large number of new novels published every day. At the same time, it is also a very fierce market competitor. There are many other novel websites and platforms competing with it.
Xiaoxiang Academy: It is one of the largest female novel websites in China, with a large readership and an active author community. Xiaoxiang Academy was also updating very quickly, with a large number of new novels being published every day. At the same time, it was also a very fierce competitor in the market, with many other female novel websites and platforms competing with it.
3.Feilu Fiction.com: It is an online novel platform that focuses on fantasy, science fiction, martial arts, and other types of novels. It has a large readership and an active author community. The update speed of the Feilu novel website was average, but the click rate and competition were relatively high because its target audience was relatively wide.
4. Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance: It is one of the most famous female novel websites in China, with a large readership and an active author community. Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance also updated quickly, with a large number of new novels published every day. At the same time, it was also a very fierce market competitor, with many other female novel websites and platforms competing with it.
These are some of the original novel websites with the fastest updates, the highest click rates, the greatest competition, and the better book release rate. However, their update speed, competitive environment, book release rate, and other factors will also vary according to the region, genre, style, and so on.

I can't directly check the status of novel publishing houses or short story publishing. However, you can search for some novel or short story publishing houses on the Internet and contact them to inquire about publishing matters. You can also consult some literary publishing companies or literary editors who might be able to provide more information.
The answers to the questions about signing a contract, entering a V account, being published, and so on were as follows:
1. Online novel contract:
The contract for online novels referred to the cooperation between the author and the publishing house or platform. After signing the contract, the author could sell the copyright of his novel to the platform or publishing house and obtain the corresponding royalties and publishing profits. Before signing the contract, the author had to submit his novel to the editor for review and screening. Only after meeting the requirements of the platform or the publishing house could he sign the contract.
2. Online novel V:
Online novels entering V meant that the works were certified as "VIP"(i.e. VIP members) on the platform. The readers of the works could purchase membership privileges to obtain a higher priority reading experience and more chapter content. To enter V, the author needed to submit the work to the editor for review and approval before they could be certified.
3. Online novel release:
When online novels were put on the shelves, it meant that the works were recommended on the platform and entered the "shelf" state, allowing readers to start buying and reading the works. To be put on the shelves, the author had to submit the work to the editor for review and review before it could be put on the shelves. After the novel was put on the shelves, it would be in a recommended state to attract more readers.
4. Web novel publishing:
The publication of online novels referred to the work being printed into books by a publishing house or printing house for public publication and sale. The publication required the author to submit the work to the editor for review and review. After publication, the works will be publicly released and readers can buy and read them in bookstores or online bookstores.
