Dear Authors, We have received reports from several authors indicating that they have been approached and targeted for scams by various platforms and individuals through personal chats. To draw more attention and awareness to our author community, we suggest the following guidelines: Always promptly block any platform or individual requesting you to write for them in exchange for specific fees. Typically, contracts in such cases result in authors losing the copyrights to their content for a lifetime. Avoid engaging with enticing offers from random individuals in chat. If someone asks you to remove your story from Pratilipi or any other platform, it is usually the first sign that you may be at risk of losing your copyrights. At Pratilipi, we do not claim entire copyrights from authors. When our team seeks any rights, a comprehensive decision is made, and we provide an email explaining a simplified version of the contract terms. We prioritize transparency in our communications. At Pratilipi, we assist authors in understanding the different types of rights available to them, which can be granted to others. For instance, we acquire adoption rights (the right to adapt a story into various formats such as comics, web series, books, audio, etc.) for specific periods. If we aim to fully acquire a story, this is explicitly stated in the contract beforehand. Authors should refrain from relinquishing complete copyrights, as we at Pratilipi believe it is a fundamental right of the author. Additionally, many writers may not anticipate the future landscape. With the evolution of Artificial Intelligence, stories can soon be translated into 20 languages on platforms like Pratilipi, enabling authors to earn from each language. Rights such as audio, film, and comics can be granted separately, allowing authors to earn from diverse streams. To comprehend any contract you engage in, feel free to reach out to a lawyer or seek assistance from the Pratilipi team at [email protected]. The Pratilipi team will contact you and clarify the language used in your contract.

10 strategies to achieve consistent earnings: 1. Engaging Content: Be proactive and ensure there is always an ongoing, long series in your profile! Data suggests that long series with 100+ parts, each consisting of at least 1000 words tend to perform well. Focus on regularly promoting these premium series to attract readers. 2. Consistency in Posting: Should I wait after publishing to check whether Pratilipi gives me readers or not? Not at all. There are thousands of readers on Pratilipi, and numerous series are available for them. Therefore, increase the visibility of your series by maintaining a regular posting to retain reader interest for new parts. Aim to publish a minimum of three parts per week. 3. Build a habit: Seat a daily writing routine of 30-45 minutes, building 800-1000 words consistently to boost your publishing. 4. Use Reader's Favorite Themes: Choose popular themes such as romance, drama, suspense, horror, crime-thriller, and others that are loved by Pratilipi readers. 5. Participate in the 'Super Writer Award' competition: To maximize your earnings, write engaging and high-quality long series in the competition. This practice will create a habit of excellent long series within a timeline, thereby increasing both your frequency of writing and writing speed. 6.

Dear author, Just by writing a 60-part series in thePratilipi Super Writer Awards competition, you can stand a chance to become an esteemed Super Writer inPratilipi and win exciting prizes and other benefits. Here are 6 secret tips on how you can easily plan and write a bestseller 60-part series. 1. Take a 1 line plot idea - Write a 1 line plot idea on a blank page. It can be inspired by any daily life incident/ newspaper article/ TV news/social media post/review by Pratilipi readers etc. 2. Create a short half page summary of your story - Based on above 1 line plot, try to create a short framework of your story. Write where the story starts and where it ends. Think of the important characters you will need in your story. Write down brief notes. 3. Design main characters of your story - Think of your main characters. Where do they live? What are challenges in their life? What kind of personality do they have? Which are the other characters you need to add in your story? Write down brief notes in 4-5 lines. 4. Note down major story events from beginning to end - Take a blank page. Based on the above half page summary and characters, now think and write down the possible major events which might happen in your story. Use numbers like 1,2,3,4 to write points from beginning of the story to end. Just write 1 line each. 5. Break down your story into parts - Now its time to plan your 60 part story for the competition. Make a total of six sections and distribute major story events to each section. - 1-10 parts 11-20 parts 21-30 parts 31-40 parts 41-50 parts 51-60 parts What happens in the story in each of these sections? Write your idea in 1-2 lines on what you will write. 6. Write notes on each single part - We are almost ready! You have written your idea for each 10 part section. Now we have to plan each single story part. Write a 1 line rough idea about what will be there inside each part of the story. Example- Part 1- Part 2- Part 3- Part 4- And so on ******************************* This entire planning takes hardly 2-3 days. But this is REALLY important before you actually start writing your story. When you start publishing your story in the Pratilipi Super Writer Awards, this planning will help you immensely to keep writing fluently each story part without any blockers. You wont have lack of ideas since you have planned everything beforehand. You will be already ahead of other participants in this competition.

If you are an eligible writer and your series is part of superfan subscription program, then going forward this is how this change will impact you: How does it impact my earning opportunity on Pratilipi? We are delighted to inform you that we are bringing an equal opportunity to earn for all the golden badge owning writers. Now you dont have to wait for the Pratilipi team to reach out to you. You will be able to add any of your completed or ongoing series under premium subscription programme anytime by yourself. What happens to my ongoing series which are part of the superfan subscription program? The series which are currently part of the superfan subscription program will automatically be included under premium subscription program. However, there are some changes we are doing to the way readers are reading your series. Your series will be locked from the 16th part onwards. Earlier, all the readers had to wait for 5 days to read locked parts from the date of publishing. With this change, to read the series for free, now readers have to wait for one day to unlock the next part after they finished reading the last part. Similar to the way premium series can be read on the platform. Why is Pratilipi considering this change? To bring the equal opportunity to earn and increase earnings of all the eligible writers from premium subscription programs. Because with the current model, once you publish new parts, after 5 days it will be free for everyone to read. So if a new reader visits your profile after the series is completed, they can read all chapters without any lock. But with this change, it will be locked after the 16th part forever. The series will be unlocked only for those who read the previous parts, without regarding the publishing date. What will change for my readers? They will see the locked parts from the 16th part onwards and not earlier than that. Waiting period will be 1 day instead of 5 days from their last read part. Similar to premium series, readers have to wait for 1 day to read the next part. To read it continuously without waiting, they can either subscribe to Pratilipi premium or subscribe to super fan subscription or unlock individual episodes with 5 Pratilipi coins. How can I opt in my new ongoing series under premium subscription program? While writing a new series, the first 15 parts will be free. Once the 16th part gets published, it will be auto opted in under the premium subscription programme. Authors wont be able to see the opt in option while publishing the first 15 parts. Opt in option will be visible from 16th part only. How can I opt in my completed series under premium subscription program? If you are writing series currently under super fan subscription, then your content will get automatically opted in under this new change. If you have completed a series and you wish to opt in under this program, then you can visit your series page in the write section, click edit information and opt in your series under this program. As of now, opting in won't be working if you visit the series from the profile page. Please visit the series from the write section. Also, once you select opt in, within a few hours (maximum time limit is 24 hours) you will get a confirmation message and your series will be included in this new change / feature. How can I remove my series from the premium subscription program? You will not be able to directly opt out. In the series edit screen, you can click no for the option Make it part of a paid program. It will raise a request to our team. Our team will reach out to you in 72 hours help you to opt out. Why is the manual opt out option being removed from the app/website? We want to give consistent experience to our readers who are paying to read. Abrupt removal of series from the programme, breaks trust of our readers who are paying to read those series upfront. Are there any changes in my writing process? For opted in series under premium subscription program - parts will not be able to be deleted or drafted. You can contact our team via whatsapp number or [email protected] for making changes otherwise. However, you will be able to edit the content of any part of the series. Attaching / detaching parts will not be allowed reordering of the parts inside the series will not be allowed. Why are there new restrictions in the writing process? We are doing this to avoid bad user experience for premium subscribers. Let's say a reader has taken a premium/superfan subscription has started reading a certain series. If an author removes any part or reorders parts of the series, then the readers reading experience will be hampered. What if I mark my series as completed? Everything will remain as it is. Your series will remain under premium subscription programme series will be locked from 16th part. Marking a series as completed, will help us promote your content to a wider audience. Can I schedule a draft/part in the opted in series, in this new system? Yes, you can. It will be as it is. Will there be any changes in my superfans reading experience? No, there wont be any changes. What will happen to my premium series? There wont be any change. Everything will remain as it is. My "Completed" series was not published under early access. So will my story be part of this change? Yes. You can opt in your completed series which was not published under early access under this program anytime. You can check the option in edit information page of your series I feel the risk of decrease in my superfans, readers and earning with the new change. 1. Initially this change will affect the readership. But, this effect is not necessarily negative it will help increase the subscribers over time. 2. The episode will not be free for every reader on the next day. A reader who has read the entire episode before the locked episode will be free to read the next episode on the next day. This part will be locked for other readers. A reader can read only one free episode in a day. Also, with the free coins, the reader will not be able to read any long story in one sitting. If the reader wants to read all the episodes consecutively, they have to buy the author subscription, premium subscription or coins to read the locked episodes. Is my content under the event part of this change? Yes, but it wont hamper your participation in the event. I can see random locked/unlocked parts in my series. Is my series under premium? If you see a premium (Diamond) symbol on your series, then it is under premium. If you have opened your own series, then such parts will not be locked for you. It doesn't mean it will be unlocked for readers. However, if you see the premium symbol, then it is locked for readers from part 16th. Where should I check the earnings of my newly added premium series? In your My earning section you will be able to see your premium earning on the last day of the month.

Dear author, We hope you are doing well. We are thrilled to inform you that we are moving one step ahead to increase your earnings! Now, you don't need to wait for a long period for your series to get selected for Premium. We are introducing exciting new changes in our application around the same. So, make sure you are using the updated version of the app to witness the new changes. We appreciate your efforts and time for writing long and engaging series. Now, you can earn more from each series which is published under subscription even if it is completed or ongoing. Basically, right now while you are writing under superfan subscription, your new part will be locked for 5 days. But after 5 days it becomes free you were not able to earn from those parts. Also, once that series gets completed you are not earning from that series until it gets selected for Premium. But why should good content not earn until it gets selected for a Premium? Here, we are coming up with a new change which will allow you to have more locked parts forever which might gain you more subscribers and as we already know more subscribers means more earnings! What has changed? Each series published under subscription will be locked forever from part 16th onwards even if it is ongoing or completed. First 15 parts of such series will be free for reading. This will be helpful in two ways. Read count of these parts your series will increase. Readers will get engaged in your story more start subscribing to you. Readers wont be waiting for 5 days to read any locked part of an ongoing series. They will wait for the next day to read the next locked part for free. If reader wants to read these locked parts immediately, they can: Subscribe to Pratilipi Premium OR Subscribe to author and become super fan (as usual) OR Pay 5 coins to unlock locked part immediately OR Wait for the next day to unlock the next locked part automatically. All ongoing series which are getting published under subscription will be automatically part of this new change. For completed series, authors need to opt in manually from the edit content option. Author will be able Add new parts or edit any part of the series anytime. They cannot delete, draft or reorder any parts of the series. Deletion or drafting such series will affect the user experience of subscribers. Hence we are implementing this change.
