China Literature Connects Global Author Contracting

Company Introduction

China Literature Limited is a leading digital reading and IP company. Its ecosystem includes Qidian, QQ Reading, New Classics Media, Tencent Animation, WebNovel, and other digital content brands and platforms.

Through WebNovel and related global business, China Literature connects with authors and content creators across more than 160 countries and regions.

Business Challenges

China Literature previously faced an urgent replacement requirement after an overseas signing tool exited the China market. Global author agreements needed to continue without interrupting copyright cooperation.

The author contracting process had several special requirements:

• Agreements could involve authors, guardians, company signers, and multiple sequential signing roles.
• Different agreements required custom signing orders and multi-signer execution.
• Copyright systems and writer-facing mobile apps needed to connect with the signing process.
• Email notifications, signing status, withdrawal, resend, download, and archive functions all had to be supported.
• Small-language email support and local service response were important for global author coverage.

The company needed a reliable signing workflow that could protect copyright operations at global scale.

Solution & Results

China Literature integrated eSign.AI’s overseas electronic signing capabilities with its copyright system and writer mobile app. Authors can submit required materials, internal teams complete review, and the system creates signing envelopes for online execution.

The workflow supports email signing invitations, signing status queries, multi-role sequential signing, custom signing order, document withdrawal, resend, download, and archive return. Completed agreements and signing records are synchronized back to the copyright system.

Application Impact

China Literature built an author contracting process covering more than 160 countries and regions, supported by 5×8 local response service. Signing efficiency improved by 120%.

The integrated signing workflow protects the continuity of global author contracting, improves copyright collaboration efficiency, and gives China Literature a scalable foundation for international digital content operations.
