I'm desperate, can anyone give me any advice to increase my chances of becoming a contracted author?
Hey guys, I will try to make this short, I live in a very pro business country and job market related to my degree is currently terrible after world got hit with the covid and wars. I worked in retail and as a server but I can't take it anymore, since government is very pro business, my bosses forced me to do jobs not related to my position and keep me until after hours without any consequence.
My family told me to quit since i have no debts lr any obligations and to simply apply for jobs related to my degree while they will try to set me up with something but chances of it are low.
I enjoy writing and have been doing it for close to one year. I always write grimdark stories without any romance and when i applied for a contract, Webnovel rejected me and told me to add female love interests and romance, at the time, I rejected it, but now I want to make money while I apply for jobs related to my degree which will probably take a long time or never happen.
Does webnovel have a formula I can abuse to increase my chances at getting a contract? Like specific genres, plotlines etc.? Like I said I don't have any debts and my family is understanding and willing to support me no matter what if I remain unemployed, but I still want to find a way to earn money and what better way to do something I love while doing that?
Thanks in advance.
