Edit novel details



Novel details To display the novel details page within MyNovel, click the novel details button on the writing tab within the ribbon.

After creating a novel you can edit the title, concept, reading age of the novel again by clicking the novel details button. Doing so opens the novel details within the main working area of MyNovel. There are three tabs within the novel details page, which correspond to three of the pages you also went through when creating the novel.

Novel summary

In this tab you can change the title of your novel, you can edit your initial concept and make it into a synopsis (this information is used when you automatically generate a title page or a synopsis for submission to literary agents), and you can change the reading age. For more information on automatic page creation see the novel explorer.

Novel summary

Goals and progress so far

In this tab you compare how well you are doing compared to the writing goals you set when you created your novel. You can also change your estimated word count and the words per day or estimated completion date as you see fit. You may be writing considerably more words than you thought or you may be progressing slower than you thought (let's hope not!)

You can also monitor your progress and modify your words per day or target word count using the progress dialog.

Once you have completed your novel you should check the this novel is complete! checkbox. You will then be able to start submitting your work to literary agents. Click the submissions to literary agents button to keep track of your submissions. Click here more information on keeping track of your submissions to literary agents.
