We have had inquiries from members asking for updates on Textnovel.com. As you know, we haven't launched any recent contests and our Editor's Picks haven't been updated for a while. This isn't because we are shutting down! Here's an update:
Contests
We are looking for input from our members on whether to do more contests and how to structure them. We are considering eliminating any requirement that winners sign any kind of publishing or representation arrangement with Textnovel.com, LLC. However, if we do that, we need a way to fund the contest. This may mean a small participation fee or alternatively, a flexible prize amount and/or contest end date based on the total dollars contributed during the contest for upgrades and in donations. If you have thoughts or comments about this, please either post them here or email them to us at support (at) textnovel.com.
Editor's Picks
Textnovel is a community of writers and it can only function with the involvement of its members. We are looking for volunteers to help us select weekly Editor's Picks and to provide feedback and encouragement to authors. The types of volunteer opportunities we have are:
- Textnovel Genre Mentor -- be a leader and encourage and coach members within your favorite genre(s) both on the website and in the forum
- Textnovel Editorial Team --help select weekly Editor's Picks and give feedback to authors
We will develop a special badge for volunteers that will highlight their profile and stories. Volunteers will also receive perks like free Featured Story or Featured Author grants. If you are interested, let us know at support (at) textnovel.com.
New Features
Just to let you know we have no intention of shutting down, here's a small tidbit: we are working with a partner on an exciting new feature that we hope to announce soon. Yes we realize that sentence says practically nothing -- sorry about that! We'll make an announcement as soon as we can.
Keep writing!
Textnovel Team
