    I already have a few series on here that I've translated, but the process to add the novel to NU was always done by a nice user so far.

    For a new series I have just started, I want to try the process myself. I found the "add new novel" page, and was going to fill it out, but I have a question first.

    I don't see any place for a link to the first chapter. Where am I supposed to provide that, or is that only for after the initial novel is approved?

    Assuming it will take some time for the novel to get approved, I was planning on submitting it today, so that tomorrow morning I can post the first chapter and have that quickly added to the site, since the initial approval is already done. Is that possible?

    Thanks for the response.

    I don't see any button for "add chapter". There is "add release", is that it?

    Also, do I need to submit the "Add series" first and get approval before I can do "add release"?

    Thanks

    Your series doesn't need to be approved for you to be able to submit releases. You can submit a release right away after submitting a new series. Please check here: http://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/how-does-novel-updates-work.21477/ for more details
