While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

Great writing site

I only found Novelo a couple of months ago but I've been really impressed so far. It's really easy to navigate and the challenges have been great to hone my skills and practice writing with guidelines. I love how we can personalise your page, can write and upload anything you have written to your account and get feedback and collaborate with other writers if you choose. Nothing negative so far and I've recommended it to a few people already.

Easy Navigation

While I'm not a whiz on websites, this website was fairly easy for me to figure out. This was the first time I posted a story here, and it only took a half hour or so to figure out that I needed to click on "Write," instead of "Entries" like it said to do on FAQS.

So far so good

So far so good. Started using it today, and I'm hyped about the challenges. Site is easy to use. I haven't seen any vulgar/inappropriate stories like on other websites, so I'm pretty stoked. Cheers!

Hi Marta, I emailed you instructions on how to enter the challenge. I also cannot promise a quick response as I do not work full-time on Novelo.

A safe place to meet fellow writers.

What a brilliant site. Many people, like me, want to be a famous novelist. Novelo offers the opportunity to develop my talent. It cost me nothing to enter their monthly challenge. I didn't win first prize, but I did win the confidence to share with them some of my other stories. Fellow writers in my genre could advise me what I am doing well and what I need to improve on. Within two days my mss was seen by over 200 people, at no cost to myself. I couldn't get that exposure elsewhere, and I have the confidence in them to spend a small amount of my money in helping me self-publish my short stories, novellas and novels.
