Hello, hello, hello! Novelicious is BACK. Ready to share all our book-nerding geekery once more.
I’m Helen, the new editor of Novelicious. Welcome to my writing room! Come in, take a pew, pick up a few books. I even have cake. Let me tell you all about our plans for the next few months and beyond. It is chock-a-block; the stuff of bookish dreams.
For the last few weeks I’ve been busy working with Kirsty, and we’ve been planning a calendar of features that we’ll share with you over the days and weeks to come. We’ve got all our usual features: reviews, interviews, writing rooms, writing tips, dates for your diary, alternative Thursday with Debs…and the amazing Julie Cohen will be returning to answer your specific writing queries.
We also have new features. Jennifer will be delving into your book clubs to find out what you’re reading as a group plus finding out your tips for running a successful one. We are taking a look at the story behind the book. What inspired the author to explore a particular subject or theme in their novel? Anna will be sharing her writing tips. Cress will be looking at cosy books. And once a fortnight I’ll be chatting to an author with an interesting story of their own in our Novelicious Weekend Interview.
The Novelicious team are, as ever, really excited and raring to go. Kay, Jenny, Susan, Cesca, Verity and Zarina are busy reading and reviewing books at this very moment (probably).
We’ve also got a few new people joining the team. Arpita will be reviewing a classic or modern classic once a month. I’m really looking forward to seeing what she digs out of her incredible book pile. Katy will be focusing on books that transport you to different places around the world. Laura is getting her book-geek on with the bookish products she loves. Rachael is our events woman. She’ll be rounding up all those bookish and writing events that are taking place around the country. And Gillian will be looking at the month’s new releases.
This week alone we have three book reviews and our very first Novelicious Weekend Interview will be coming out on Friday. Perfect to read over the weekend.
Publicists, authors, publishers and any other book people do contact me helen@writingtipsoasis.com with feature requests or book reviews in the first instance.
And if you’re on twitter and facebook (we are!) come and tell us what you’re reading.
Thank you for reading!
