Revision as of 21:18, 15 March 2008

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

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

An Invite to join Novels WikiProject

Hi, you are cordially invited to join the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels". 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.

We look forward to welcoming you to the project!
