Author & Content Licensing Policy

Please read these policies carefully before publishing or submitting any work to Storryca.

Thank you for choosing Storryca. We are committed to building a professional publishing platform where talented writers can grow their careers, reach readers worldwide, and earn from their creativity.

1. Exclusive Content Policy

All novels published by official Storryca Authors are subject to the terms of their Exclusive Publishing Contract.

Authors under an exclusive agreement are not permitted to:

• Publish the same novel on another novel platform or website.
• Sell or license the same publishing rights to another publishing company.
• Upload or distribute the same novel under another account or platform.
• Republish, distribute, or license the same novel elsewhere without Storryca's prior written permission.

Any violation of the applicable exclusive publishing agreement may result in termination of the author's contract and any other remedies permitted under the agreement.

2. Movie and Film Rights

Authors may have opportunities to sell or license the film, television, or other adaptation rights to their novels, subject to the terms of their agreement with Storryca.

All movie studios, production companies, publishers, or script buyers interested in acquiring adaptation rights to a novel published under an exclusive Storryca agreement should contact Storryca Management directly.

All inquiries should be sent to support@storryca.com.

Where Storryca is authorized to act as the licensing representative, the parties will negotiate the applicable licensing agreement.

Storryca acts as the official licensing representative for novels where such representation has been granted under the author's agreement.

3. Two Ways to Work With Storryca

Storryca offers two primary publishing opportunities.

If Storryca purchases the manuscript, the manuscript may be published under an anonymous, pen-name, or company-managed account. This arrangement is governed by a separate Manuscript Purchase Agreement and may involve a complete transfer of copyright and intellectual property rights.

4. Editorial Review for Manuscript Sales

Submitting or selling a manuscript to Storryca does not guarantee acceptance or purchase. Every submitted manuscript may be reviewed by the Storryca Editorial Team.

Editors may evaluate:

• Story quality.
• Originality.
• Writing standard.
• Commercial potential.
• Compliance with Storryca policies.
• Suitability for the Storryca audience.

A manuscript may be rejected even if the writer has spent months or years working on it. Editorial decisions regarding manuscript acceptance are final, subject to any rights expressly provided in a separate agreement.

5. Performance Evaluation for Storryca Authors

Official Storryca Authors are evaluated based primarily on reader and platform performance rather than personal preferences.

Factors may include:

• Reader engagement.
• Reader reviews.
• Follower growth.
• Reading performance.
• Audience feedback.
• Consistency and publishing performance.

Authors who consistently satisfy readers and meet Storryca's standards may receive promotions, increased opportunities, or other benefits according to their agreement with Storryca.

6. Standard Writers and Premium Writers

Storryca currently offers two author categories:

Both categories receive compensation and benefits according to their individual employment or author agreement with Storryca.

7. Additional Earning Opportunity for Storryca Authors

Official Storryca Authors may create an additional original novel outside their regular monthly publishing assignment.

To qualify for separate submission, the novel must:

• Never have been published anywhere.
• Be completely finished.
• Meet Storryca's publishing requirements.
• Be original and legally owned by the submitting author.

The manuscript may be submitted to support@storryca.com. It will undergo the same editorial review process as other external submissions.

If approved, Storryca may purchase and license the manuscript separately while the author continues receiving their normal monthly compensation. Approval and purchase are not guaranteed.

8. Ownership and Deletion Policy

All novels published or licensed by Storryca become part of the Storryca publishing catalogue, subject to the applicable agreement.

Official Storryca Authors

Official Storryca Authors retain the copyright to their original novels. However, by signing an Exclusive Publishing Contract, the author grants Storryca an exclusive publishing license for the duration of the agreement.

During the agreement:

• The author remains the legal copyright owner.
• Storryca receives the exclusive right to publish, distribute, promote, and monetize the novel on its platform, as specified in the agreement.
• The novel may not be published, licensed, or distributed on another platform without Storryca's prior written permission.
• The author may not sell or license the same publishing rights to another company while the exclusive agreement remains active.
• The novel cannot be permanently deleted from Storryca at the author's request during the exclusive contract period, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Storryca retains the exclusive publishing rights granted under the contract.

Ghostwriter Manuscripts

Ghostwriter manuscripts are governed by a separate Manuscript Purchase Agreement. Once a manuscript has been approved, purchased, and fully paid for:

• Copyright and applicable intellectual property rights are transferred to Storryca according to the purchase agreement.
• Storryca becomes the legal copyright owner of the manuscript.
• The manuscript may not be removed from the Storryca catalogue unless Storryca decides otherwise.
• The original writer may not republish, resell, distribute, or claim ownership of the transferred rights unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Storryca may publish, distribute, translate, adapt, print, produce audiobooks, create film or television adaptations, and otherwise commercialize the manuscript, subject to applicable law and the purchase agreement.

These ownership terms remain effective after the manuscript has been purchased and the rights have been transferred.

9. Our Commitment

Storryca values every writer and every original story.

Whether you choose to become an official Storryca Author or submit a completed manuscript for purchase, we are committed to providing a professional publishing environment and creating opportunities for stories to reach readers around the world.

By working with Storryca, authors agree to comply with applicable Storryca policies and the terms of their individual agreements.
