Short stories on novel reading websites were usually published after they were completed because editors would review and edit them to ensure the quality of the story. As for the author's fee, it was usually calculated based on the number of words and the number of readers. Usually, the remuneration for writing a short story was relatively low, but as the number of words in the novel increased, the remuneration would gradually increase. The specific amount of royalties may vary by region and platform. You need to consult the customer service staff of the platform or understand the relevant local laws and regulations. In addition, if you want to publish a short story on the novel reading website, it is recommended to register an account first and submit a complete story outline and text for the editor to review. Only after passing the review could the novel be published and receive royalties.
