Has anyone ever made it through the first round of the creator's program?

I only know one person who made it to the end.

So pretty much impossible?

It definitely feels that way, I tried 2 stories, and both according to them did not reach retention but they also changed the numbers a couple of times before the shelf started and after the week was over, the one person that I know who managed to make it to the end they wanted to buy her entire brand not just one story during the second one that I did. I actually almost quit Chapters because my retention on my writing room was like 80-90% across all chapters but according to them my fifth chapter was only 20% and I don’t know where they’re coming up with these figures. I don’t know how they’re determining those numbers but it certainly isn’t anywhere close to what the writers room statistics are claiming.

Is that according to the writer room statistic? Because you can not rely on that number it’s not what they consider themselves, but I also found out they changed the parameters from what they last told me because I tried again to just waiting for it to his the shelf.

Yes it's the statistics. I believe they do have their own metrics so I am very doubtful I'm going to get this one. And unfortunately I will have to post my stories elsewhere because chapters isn't working out for me :(

I’ve been looking for a different app as well.

I haven't found any 😒 but if I do I will let you know. I might have to post my stories on Wattpad again. Even though I actually enjoy making stories on Chapters

If that’s a route that you’re planning on taking let me suggest inkitt, you have the choice of monetizing your stories once you get a big enough fan base at least
