E-books could be read directly on mobile devices, making it more convenient. E-books would usually pay the author a certain copyright fee and then sell the novel to bookstores or other channels. Other channels: In addition to the above three channels, authors can also contact bookstores or online bookstores to sell novels, or sell novels through second-hand bookstores or other online sales platforms. As for how much the novel could sell for, it depended on many factors, including the quality of the novel, the subject matter, the style of writing, the popularity, and so on. Different publishing houses, online publishing platforms, and sales channels had different pricing strategies for novels. Generally speaking, the higher the price of a novel, the smaller the readership. However, if the price was too low, it might affect the quality and reputation of the novel. Therefore, authors needed to formulate a reasonable pricing strategy based on the quality of their works and the market situation.
