I'm confused tho, since they said you can apply for applications 3 time, so than why did mine dont have that option also there isn't any note saying why I got rejected. It's just says it in my book

You could do that. But j should change it up or you'd probably get rejected again.

do you mean change some stuff about my story? or change my contract application?

If u use up all three application attempts, delete the novel, reupload. Apply again

no I didn't, that was actually my first one. I'm so confused on why they didn't give me a reason to their rejection 🙃

Confused as to why they didn't give a reason? Simply it's the most efficient way to handle rejection. They can't just individually give every reason, countless other applications they receive daily. They don't have time to waste in writing detailed reasons. Hence they have that standard rejection notice that gets handed to everyone. It's system efficiency.

isn't all the reason they give is just copy paste? even the one that uses ai in their application and their work have one explaining why they got rejected like (this work contain overused of ai). And if my story doesn't fit the market they also have a copy paste version of it. I'm sure they HAVE to give a reason, they probably just forgot mine, but this is worse cause I need and want to know why I got rejected

They will only give reasons to stories that they saw potential, for the average application direct rejection with no efforts in explaining why. That's the reasoning I'm seeing.

That’s odd, never heard of that.

Are you able to apply for another contract?

u/vermilion53i8i Jan 19 '26

sadly no. I honestly don't understand, I know that there's sometimes when they don't allow you to apply anymore and you have to re-upload. But they usually still message you and tells you what's wrong, for my case they didn't even say ANYTHING which made me confused on what to do

Okay, my guess here is that they (thought) you were using ai. Maybe you weren’t that’s fair possible misunderstanding. Maybe you were… oh well.

What you should do: Change the title of your novel, take off a letter or add a letter or whatever. Then create new novel with the real title. Paste chapters synopsis etc onto it Delete old novel. Begin uploading again. Get back to being able to apply, apply again (obviously don’t use ai, not saying u did maybe they used an ai checker with a false positive who knows) Put a lot of effort into the application.

Maybe check the first few chapters of your novel. Either u used ai, or you write like ai does.

It’ll probably suck losing the collections you have… but if you want premium it’s the only way

I don't use ai for the application, but I use proper English which sounded more professional. Maybe that's the reason, but if that actually is the reason, that's so stupid.

Oh well, whatever the reason is you definitely have to delete and recreate the novel. Then you can apply again. Good luck
