For aspiring writers, producers, and publishers who will lead the web novel industry in the future.
A must-read filled with core knowledge and practical know-how on readers, platforms, and genres.

The most notable field in the content market these days is undoubtedly web novels.
In particular, many people are keeping an eye on the company as it is generating enormous sales through IP businesses such as dramas, movies, webtoons, and games.
Many of the dramas that have recently gained immense popularity and buzz as soon as they aired, such as “Please Marry My Husband,” “Carry Seonjae on Your Back,” “The Call You Just Dialed,” and “Trauma Center,” were created based on web novels.
Thanks to this atmosphere, the number of aspiring web novel writers and producers, as well as those who dream of starting a web novel publishing company, is increasing.
However, it is not easy to obtain practical information about the web novel market.
Since most of the web novel-related books currently available on the market are guidebooks, there is very little content on the practical aspects of web novel PDs or publishing company management.
Even in books introducing publishing companies or independent publishing, it's difficult to find information about web novel publishing.
The web novel market is completely different from the general book market, including literature.
Therefore, even if you want to successfully enter the web novel market and build an efficient system, you will face difficulties from the start if you do not have any information.
"Book Witch's Web Novel Producing Academy" is a book that perfectly organizes the web novel publishing system for aspiring web novel producers, writers, and those who wish to start a web novel publishing company.
It provides a detailed step-by-step introduction to the important characteristics of the web novel market, such as readers, platforms, and genres, as well as the practical work of web novel producers, and explains how to set up a web novel department in the 'Appendix' of the book.


A special tip from a creative mentor who is a former web novel PD!
If you understand the systems and practices of the web novel publishing industry, you can become a new employee with experience.

Chapter 1 analyzes the characteristics of representative publishing platforms (Kakao Page, Naver Series, Ridibooks, One Story, etc.) and free serialization platforms (Munpia, Joara, Bookpal, Novelpia, etc.) in the web novel market.
Platforms are distribution channels that wield significant influence in the web novel market, and this is essential information for aspiring web novel writers or producers.
In addition, we will focus on exploring the web novel genre by dividing it into 'female-oriented' (romance, romantic fantasy, BL, etc.) and 'male-oriented' (fantasy, modern fantasy, martial arts, alternative history, etc.).
Only by clearly understanding the mainstream genres in the web novel market can new writers and new producers take the right first step.
Chapter 2 delves into the details of the work of a web novel producer.
Let's look at the production system for publishing and distributing a work in order of work.
This book introduces the practical aspects of a web novel PD, from discovering works and recruiting writers on free serialization platforms, reviewing and contracting submitted manuscripts, preparing for platform review and creating a cover, editing manuscripts and writing introductions, producing and registering e-books, and even the essential tasks that must be performed after publication.
Finally, Chapter 3 provides a detailed explanation of the web novel industry's systems, which are difficult to understand unless you are an insider.
In addition, we will discuss the essential capabilities that a web novel PD must possess, as well as the difficulties and prospects of a web novel PD as a professional.

In short, this book is a must-read for writers, aspiring producers, and publishers who will lead the web novel industry in the future.
It will be of great help to aspiring writers who dream of becoming professional writers, new writers who are just beginning to experience the contract and publishing process and going through trial and error, and those in the publishing industry, including new producers.
If you fully understand and apply the content contained herein to your work, you can become a new producer with experience, a new writer with experience, or a new writer with experience. If you dream of starting a web novel publishing company, you will be able to successfully enter the web novel market.
