Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach
The Outreach Department of the Novels WikiProject is a centralized workarea for project recruitment and member interaction efforts. The major programs currently active are a monthly project newsletter and a welcoming message for new members of the project; additional ideas are always welcome, of course!
- NB: All credit for the idea and some of the code should go to the WP:MILHIST WikiProject team.
Newsletter[edit]

Delivery options[edit]
Note: The following delivery options are under review. We now only deliver the newsletter in the one format. If you wish to subscribe or unsubscribe to the newsletter add or remove your name from the list of subscribers located here.
By default, we will provide a link to the current issue of the newsletter on your talk page when it comes out. If you would prefer, you may choose to have the contents delivered to you directly (in other words, to have the full newsletter added to your talk page), or to not receive the newsletter in any form.
If you are not a member of the project but would like a copy of the newsletter, for whatever reason, you may add your name here as well.

Welcome to the Novels WikiProject[edit]
Hello and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books, often referred to as "novels".
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject Novels announcements}} there.
While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User WPNOVELS}}. - Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- Planning on starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the coordinators or an experienced member of the project; we will be happy to assist in any way we can. Again, welcome, and we look forward to seeing you around!
