Step 2: On Signing the Contract

#Will I have an editor if I apply for contract?

Yes. The person who sends you the offer will be your editor and your only editor in GoodNovel, and you can ask them anything regarding your book or your contract.

# Can I sign different types of contracts for different books at the same time?

Sure! We sign one contract for one book,so you can sign different contracts for different books with us at the same time.

# How long does the contract application take?

It typically takes 2 weeks to 1 month to respond to your application. If you haven’t received a reply in over a month, please contact us at contact@goodnovel.com.

# How do I know if I got rejected or not?

If we think your book needs improvement, you will receive a "Closed" notice on your book info page, stating the reasons for the rejection so that you can rewrite accordingly. However, it doesn't mean that you can't apply again. 

#I submitted my application over a month ago and haven't received any rejection. What should I do?

Firstly, ensure that you provided the correct email address during your application process. Next, inspect your email's spam or junk folder, as occasionally, communications may inadvertently land there. If, after verifying your email address and checking all folders, you still haven't received any correspondence, please reach out to us directly at contact@goodnovel.com.

#Can I terminate the contract once signed?

Absolutely. All bonuses and profit share shall be refund upon termination.

If there's a breach of contract discuss it with your editor.

#I received an exclusive offer but I want to change it to non-exclusive. What should I do?

Just alert your editor by replying to the offer email and they will help you.

#I received a non-exclusive offer but I want to change it to exclusive, what should I do?

Our criteria for exclusive contracts are more stringent. If you've applied for an exclusive agreement but received a non-exclusive offer, it's typically an indication that we believe your book could benefit from further refinement before meeting the standards of an exclusive contract. You have the option to consult your assigned editor for improvement suggestions or you can opt to sign the non-exclusive contract now, keeping open the possibility of transitioning to an exclusive agreement in the future.

#I'm unfamiliar with signing online documents. How does it work and is it legally binding?

Online contracts are indeed legally binding once they bear our official stamp and your signature. To ensure authenticity:

  • Sign the document in your regular signature style that can be recognized immediately at site.

  • Inform your assigned editor once you've signed the contract.

Please note: Do not respond to emails from HelloSign directly, as these won't reach our editors. HelloSign is the electronic document service we employ. Always reply to the email from the editor who presented the offer.

Important: If you are under 21, you'll be required to sign additional underage confirmation agreements. Should you receive two emails from HelloSign, both you and your guardian must sign both documents.
