Litarena, Completed/Edited/Polished, Group-Published (see FAQ), Unpublished, Lulu-Published or Independently-Published Novel-Writing Review Submission Form

As a personal preference I would much rather accept works which have already been group-published (see FAQ), or independently-published, for example on www.lulu.com and, in the case of British writers, deposited with the Legal Deposit Office in Euston Street, London. For writers who are unsure of whether or not their work is eligible for review at Litarena, please read our instructions and FAQ.

Please do not submit: Offensive material, non-fiction, blogs, biographies or memoirs, plays, films, or comedies, unfinished, or draft work. (You can submit comic and satirical novels.)

Please take notice of the fact that litarena isn't trying to be either literary, or academic. It's bringing unpublished lulu-published, independently-published writers the ordinary opinions of ordinary book readers and buyers on whether they think a book is: Good, Bad or Excellent.

This website does not provide feedback, discussion or interaction of any other kind. Please read more within the instructions and FAQ.

That's it. That simple task is all that it sets out to achieve.

Thank you.

Patrick Mackeown

Important: Do spread-the-word: All of us want the books and topics on the litarena website to be discussed as widely as possible. We all need to 'spread-the-word'. To speed up the process of spreading the word I've added a selection of web addresses to some book-discussion web-fora into this online form that you're filling in. (You will see the web addresses at the end, printed on the final thank you page.) When you reach the final page, please take a moment to browse the litarena site, there are lots of topics here, from new books by independent and lulu authors, through to classics by Graham Greene and Rudyard Kipling in the thrillers section, and even some academic books in the African heritage section. Please choose one topic from anywhere on the litarena website, or feel free to make up your own topic which is linked in some way to a topic on the litarena website and post a forum message about it. (Suitable book fora will be suggested to you on the final page of this web form.) In addition to those that this form will suggest, you might think of others yourself. (That's optional.)

Mission Statement: Please state in no more than 400 words (the script checks) what your objectives for your manuscript are. If you aim to be funny, or satirical, horrific, (or whatever) say so. If you aim to emulate James Joyce's Ulysses, say so. The Litarena.com reviewers give their personal opinions on whether or not they believe that each writer has succeded in achieving what he lists as his narrative objectives here.
