Why the separate novels area?
Many writers’ groups are focused especially on short stories, in part because they’re easier to critique and more manageable as a learning tool. Codex has tended to be short story-centric in the past for these reasons, yet a number of our members are primarily interested in writing novels; therefore we have added a novels area and some special initiatives, like a novel buddy system and a permanent novel synopsis advisor discussion. By the way, the critique system is set up to easily handle portions of novels or even entire novels. If you are posting a novel for feedback, we recommend that you also post to the forum inviting readers, as it’s a better way to attract the attention of people who may not know your novel is available for critique.
