Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach

The Outreach Department of the Novels WikiProject is a centralized workarea for project recruitment and member interaction efforts. The major programs currently active are a monthly project newsletter and a welcoming message for new members of the project; additional ideas are always welcome, of course!

NB: All credit for the idea and some of the code should go to the WP:MILHIST WikiProject team.

Newsletter

The Newsletter is currently active. However help is needed, so if any editor would like to help in producing it again, feel free to sign your name below, and leave a message at WT:NOVELS and WT:NVCOORD so that we can assist you.

Delivery options

edit

Note: The following delivery options are under review. We now only deliver the newsletter in the one format. If you wish to subscribe or unsubscribe to the newsletter add or remove your name from the list of subscribers located here.

By default, we will provide a link to the current issue of the newsletter on your talk page when it comes out. If you would prefer, you may choose to have the contents delivered to you directly (in other words, to have the full newsletter added to your talk page), or to not receive the newsletter in any form.

If you are not a member of the project but would like a copy of the newsletter, for whatever reason, you may add your name here as well.

Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject!

We make no length distinction so all narrative prose fiction is of interest. This includes Novels, novellas, novelettes and short stories. Articles about the works themselves and the forms and genres.
