Testimonials
to be able to express your thoughts and imagination in writing.. textnovel as an outlet for those like me made me feel grateful for the talent that I have as a writer.. when viewers appreciate my writing, I feel so happy that it encourages me to write and do my very best to make my novel better each day... =) thank you... .......
It is like a light that led me from darkness to a clearer vision of what i really want. I am not such a talented writer, but, I haven't noticed it until today that whenever I move my hands with a pen in it, I'm actually having fun. I've been blinded by many options, but now I know what my calling is. Thanks that you've given us the opportunity to express our thoughts in this site. This will be an arena for me to practice and to improve. I'll be in your care... EURI.......
Great site for helping people share their fantasies and talents (and finding them) as well as a great place to learn from eachother how to write better or differently!.......
Thank you so much to textnovel for giving me an opportunity to share my writing. Its a wonderful training ground and the support from all the other writers is just awesome!.......
Textnovel has helped me out tremendously. When one of my stories was not chosen as an Editor's Pick, I received an e-mail explaining some of my weaknesses. I found this so helpful in all of my writing. I made changes using the Textnovel team's criticisms and that story has since become an Editor's Pick. I now can edit my work with more preciseness, knowing where my weaknesses lie.
I have also made so many wonderful friends on Textnovel, who also give me wonderful advice as well. It has been such a wonderful experience to enter my stories on Textnovel. Whether I place or not in this year's contest, I consider myself a winner, just because of the knowledge I have gained since becoming a member.
Before finding Textnovel, I was quite lost on my writing/publishing journey. Textnovel has opened up a whole new world for me. Thank you, dearly, Textnovel Team.

I tried to write some stories for ages, but anywhere I put them, I didn't know if people would read them or even like them. But at Textnovel, I got noticed and I love to post new chapters from everywhere by writing a simple MMS!.......
Textnovel has helped me to FINALLY get my work out there! As a young writer, its difficult to get people to listen, and read what you have worked so hard on, but here, I find the rich essence of other young writers, and new aspiring writers, that I've been inspired by all the other authors, writing their novels here, and by my fans; though I've only just begun, and have found this site to be so helpful, and easy to use. I can't wait to see what other competitions will arise, and how textnovel will shape me as a writer. Thank you textnovel for your awesome site!

I love TextNovel! I had been Googling how to get my story published and writing contests, and I found this amazing website! Even though my writing only has 28 views, I still feel like someone's finally noticing my work. I really hope that one day I can get published, and TextNovel might help me accomplish that dream! Thank you for giving us writers such an amazing opportunity!.......
Before Textnovel came along I could not figure out how to get featured in anything related to writing, till one day I was web surfing and came along to Textnovel and I decided to use this site to write my manga Yellow Hit. Although I just started publishing on Textnovel I have a handful of fans already all thanks to Textnovel.
textnovel is amazing! I love how functional and versatile it is when your creating a story. The people are so nice and supportive. Couldnt get any better........
Textnovel has given me a lot of confidence in my English grammar and when I'm writing stories. Other Authors are all friendly and willing to help you out. I'm really thankful for the textnovel for allowing me to write my stories here, to let me to clean my mind off of the stories .^_^.
You've done a very good work, Textnovel team!
I wish you a good luck and hope that this site won't disappear!

I can honestly say that I enjoy writing and publishing my stories on Textnovel. One day I was surfing the web looking for a place to put my stories where readers can view it and voila! I found Texnovel. I felt lucky to find it. Not only can you enter a contest but readers can comment on your stories and vote for them. This site makes it possible to get your stories out there and for that I and many writers are grateful.
Not only that, whenever I come across a problem the textnovel crew always fixes it as fast as they can. Thank you for that!

I remember sitting on my living room couch with my laptop and thinking, "What I write in this computer will never get noticed." A few years later I was looking for writing contests and Textnovel.com came up. I clicked on it and I have been a member ever since. WIth out Textnovel.com my stories would still be un-noticed........
Text Novel has been a great place for me to write. I had always wanted to write but when I put anything to paper I never could complete what I had started. When I started using text novel I was encouraged by the community with both votes and comments. I have managed to complete some children's stories and through other writers support I gathered up enough courage to submit a manuscript to a publisher. Text Novel is a worth while place to spend your time and write........
Textnovel is a wonderful way to showcase your writing! My confidence as a writer skyrocketed when I joined Textnovel. Writing is my bliss in
life and knowing that others are reading my novels is the icing on the cake. Comments from other writers and from fans make me want to update my novels daily. The system of voting, commenting and viewing keeps the site fun. First thing I do every morning is to open Textnovel and see who has been reading and commenting. People often ask how to get more comments. It's simple really. Textnovel is a social site. You need to read and comment on other novels and feedback will come to you. I have made so many friends on Textnovel. Friends in all stages of their writing, from beginning to those who are published. There are plenty of writing internet sites out there- I've tried a few but I always come back to Textnovel. When you submit your novel for publication there is always that paragraph that wants to know about your achievements in writing. Winning the Editor's Choice Award is great for a query letter. Some Publishers want to know that you can self market. Textnovel offers Featured novel and Featured author sections. It's a great way to gain viewers. -- Kathleen Ball.......

Positive and enjoyable experience posting my novels here. I find that I write at a speedier rate, catch many mistakes and areas that need improvement, story direction and a myriad of other things that come along with pulling a novel together. For that I am thankful as it has aided in making me a better writer. Plus, the social atmosphere is awesome! A great place to read aspiring new authors & some published authors' works. So thanks for having a user friendly site that continues to grow with members. Your aim to always improve the site and the acknowledgment of authors' works with awards. Editor's choice is a nice star to have in one's craw...or least in my opinion, I like it!! :) thank you so much!
Scared, timid and just plain frightened of what the outcome would be when I posted my first novel on Textnovel. It was so worth the effort, with the help of other authors, I've managed to not only evolve as a writer, but learn more about myself in the process. I look back at the first novel I posted and with the help of comments and positive/negative feedback have improved greatly and I'm grateful to everyone that has helped me get this far and improve my writing. Textnovel is euphoria and thank you for being an outlet for so many authors to express themselves, whether it's for fun or just to test the water...THIS SITE IS PHENOMENAL!
Thank you TEXTNOVEL

Textnovel has introduced me to some great authors, great books, and really great readers. It is refreshing to find a site that supports new authors. This is truly the first site that has allowed me the freedom of my own writing while also supplying many options for publishing.
Thank you Textnovel!

Textnovel is the best...It has made me open my mind a lot more; its my little space to find myself and express all I have inside, a good way to reach out to others and share my thoughts and fantasies...ES LO MAXIMO!.......
The blank page is both exciting and terrifying, but every time I try to start a new project, I'm too paralyzed by fear to let my muse take over. I had read about cell phone novels in Japan and had always thought they seemed interesting. It wasn't until I read that there was an English version that I got excited. Setting up my novel's page was quick and painless. Writing on my cell phone takes away the fear of never being able to fill the page and my writing has started to flow like never before. I'm finally able to bring characters and ideas that have been in my head for months to the page and it feels amazing. Thank you Textnovel, thank you!

Textnovel is a fantastic site! The feedback from other writers, the community, and the opportunity to share your work is priceless! I recommend it to everyone I know--writers and readers alike........
This is a wonderful site, it gives us aspiring writers a place to share what we have. I for one am so glad I found this website.......
My success at textnovel has given me so much more confidence in my writing! It led me to submit some of my writing and poetry to contests, and i'm happy to say that winning those has helped me a lot with earning some money for college! thanks textnovel

I love textnovel. There are a lot of great readers and excellent writers; I hope it becomes mainstream........
I love TextNovel! It encourages me to keep writing when I receive such wonderful comments from my readers. Associating with other writers shows me how much fun it is to write. It turns work into pleasure! Thank you readers, for your votes and for following my story!.......
I was always talking about writing but It's scary to take the first step. My sister Tricia pushed me and I wrote my first book Texas Haven. I found textnovel.com and I was hesitant to post my book, but I finally did it and it has made all the difference in the world. The positive feedback, the friendly suggestions and reading other Author's books has given the courage to not only finish my first book but I'm working on my second book Ryelee's Cowboy and I already have plans for a third. This site has made my self confidence soar. I'm working on Query letters now and hopefully I'll get published. The instant feedback and recognition on this site has been great! I've made a few friends on here too. It gets addictive- writing, posting and reading other Author's books. I appreciate all the help, suggestions and positive feedback that I have gotten from the members of textnovel.com........
Textnovel is a wonderful writing community. No matter what your skill level may be, you can feel comfortable posting your your work here. Despite what reservations may have about putting your work up on the internet, the fact is that publishers haved published many internet novels and self published stories already! Honestly, it has made all the difference in my writing. It turned something that I did alone at my desk into something much more fun and rewarding, allowing people to read it as it is written, offering up their thoughts and suggestions! There is nothing more satisfying than having someone stumble onto to your work and and having that person not only enjoy it, but subcribe to it! Give it a shot you'll be glad you did!.......
"I'm loving my experiences on Textnovel. It's been a wonderful place for me to wet my feet, and I'm actually about to start sending out query letters next month. Having the chance to practice online has really been a great benefit leading up to this big step.".......
