Content Rules

Be original

Only post work you created or have permission to use. No copying other authors’ books, translations of books you don’t own the rights to, stolen comics or art, or videos you don’t have rights to. Fan fiction of other people’s characters is not eligible for contracts.

No stolen stories

Posting another author’s story as your own is not allowed, including books taken from other platforms such as WebNovel, Wattpad, GoodNovel, Dreame, or any website, app, or printed book, even if you change the names, title, or a few words. Only post a book you also published elsewhere if you are its author. Stolen books are removed, any contract is ended, earnings from them are not paid, and the account may be closed.

No AI-generated novels

Novels and chapters written by AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar are not allowed, in whole or in large part. You may use tools for spelling and grammar, but the story, its scenes, and its sentences must be written by you. NovelBeta checks new books for signs of AI writing and copying. Our editors make the final decision, and they may ask you for drafts or notes to show your writing process. Books found to be AI-generated are removed and can’t receive contracts, promotions, or contest prizes.

Mark mature content 18+

Books, comics, and dramas with explicit sexual content, graphic violence, or other mature themes must be marked 18+. Mature content may not appear in covers, titles, synopses, or the first chapter preview in a way that is explicit.

Never allowed

Sexual content involving anyone under 18, or characters who appear to be or are described as under 18, in any form, including in fiction. Non-consensual sexual content presented to glorify it. Content that promotes terrorism, hate against people for who they are, or self-harm. Real people’s private information. Spam, scams, or links to malware.

Respect real people

Don’t write sexual or degrading content about real, identifiable people. Don’t harass, threaten, or bully other users or authors in comments or messages.

AI-made content

AI dramas and AI-assisted art must be labeled when submitted. AI-generated novels are not allowed (see No AI-generated novels above). You are still responsible for making sure AI-made content doesn’t copy others or break these rules. Characters in character chat stay PG-13 even when their book is 18+.

Fair play

No fake accounts, bought votes, or bots to boost rankings, contests, or comments. Contest entries must follow each contest’s rules.

What happens if rules are broken

We may label, hide, or remove content, remove books from promotions or contests, pause earnings for content that broke the rules, and suspend or close accounts. Serious cases, like anything involving minors, are reported to the authorities.
