Questions
A few common questions
Who can apply?
Independent authors across genres. Create an account and verify your email before applying. You must control the merchandise rights or have permission from the rights holder. If you have a publishing contract, check those rights first.
How much will I earn?
You earn the royalty percentage written in your signed agreement on the merchandise revenue of every product linked to your collection, after discounts, refunds and chargebacks, and excluding shipping, taxes and tips. Production costs and platform fees are not deducted from your share. Your dashboard shows each product’s price, what you earn per sale, units sold, your earnings to date and every payout.
When do I get paid?
NORONEL pays you on the statement and payment schedule written in your agreement. Each recorded payout appears in your dashboard with its date and reference.
Does NORONEL own my story?
No. The agreement covers only the merchandise rights we agree to license. You approve the designs before they are sold.
Do I pay anything up front?
Costs, royalty rates and payout terms are agreed in writing before launch. Sending an application doesn’t set or commit you to any terms.
What happens after I apply?
We review your signed application and contact you by email. If we move forward, NORONEL issues a separate agreement and you sign it before studio work or creating a collection for sale. Once it launches, you can share its NORONEL link with your readers.
