With the signing of Webnovel arose the need to create two separate persona brands. As I realized my persona as a hobby writer for all my other stories was going to contradict some conditions for being a commissioned contract author to Webnovel.
To ensure both of our interests are met, I made the snap decision to create a separate identity for both.
To ensure both of our interests are met, I made the snap decision to create a separate identity for both.
Why? Two main reasons
- Less chance to confuse readers with what Webnovel has contracted from me and what I hold full rights. Trust me. It will ensure less pain for both of us in the near future.
- Genre targeting.
What does this mean going forward?
- Any works that I've released to Tapread and on paid channels like Kobo, I own and hold rights to. These are my hobby treasures under my identity as writer, Veronica Purcell.
- Any works available on my Webnovel account (Veronica8), are contracted to Webnovel who hold and own full rights to those works. I assume credit as the initial writer and creator under pen name, Veronica8 (I hope).
What has changed?
- All works under the pen name, "Veronica Purcell", have been removed from Webnovel.
- Any works that are contracted or have intentions to contract to Webnovel remain to that site under pen name, Veronica8
Fingers crossed this will created a clear line the sand to avoid persona branding confusions.
