    Hi all!

    As you all probably know, JFB launched our new website, Creative Novels (which, btw, if you haven’t checked out, what are you waiting for?), just a few days ago. As part of our new start, we’re looking to expand! While we have several original stories already, Creative Novels is looking to host even more.

    So if you’re an aspiring author with a story you’d like to share, if you’re at all interested, even if you’re not sure, please contact us! You have the opportunity to be hosted on a platform that reaches millions of views a month, many of them on our original novels, if you only reach out!

    We look forward to hearing from you!

    Sorry about that, we are working on getting the ads right without affecting user experience. We'll get things sorted out in a week. Please continue to read from our site!

    It's not really like that. We've always had both translations and originals. Right now, with the move to new servers and a new site, we've got room to expand, so we figured why not? It's good for aspiring authors and it's good for us.

    That's pretty much it! Nothing nefarious here, sadly.

    Can you explain more about the requirements of original stories that you guys would accept?

    We were having some trouble with our old website, which you probably know about if you've been reading with us for a while. There were a ton of bugs and things started fritzing out as more people visited the site.

    The plan was always to get a new and improved website, but the sudden incoming death of our old one kind of accelerated the timeline.

    Oh, haha, we tried to create a better reading experience on this new website with tons more features. It ended up looking way different from our original, but if you keep looking around, you'll see features we pulled directly from our old website. Do you like it?

    Sure! Go ahead and DM me and I'd be happy to explain! :blobReach:

    I'm all for nefarious, really. But the curated thing was what I was mostly asking about. Are you going to be open to all or do you have requirements (finished or ongoing, a standard of English quality, etc)

    Well, I took a peek, so I guess your shameless advertising worked!

    Looking at your writing, I think you'd fit in well with us. Seriously.

    If you are interested in hosting with us, please DM me! We'd love to have you!

    Ah, I see! :blobpats:

    Then, yes. We do have certain requirements regarding English grammar skills, length, posting schedule, etc. that we ask authors to meet.

    We do promise our readers good, well presented content, and these standards are a part of that. That being said, we work with authors to help them achieve that, along with other benefits, so that they're not left in the lurch.

    I hope that answered your question! Please let me know if you have others.

    Hi! If you’d like to post an original story with us, please DM me so that we can talk about it. There are several steps in the process to get you author access on the website.
