We have already written chapter 1 of a brand new novel and we invite YOU to write the next chapter. Once we have received everyone’s submissions for the next chapter, we will choose the one we think is the best and then post it up on the website. You will then be invited to write chapter 3 and the process will run again and again until we have the complete global novel.
As far as we know, this has never been done before and so it is an exciting opportunity for anyone from around the world to obtain recognition for their skills and ideas and to be part of a unique project.
We have set up a forum so that ideas for how the story should move on can be discussed and then it is over to you to write the next chapter. The story can go anywhere, at this stage, so it really is down to you to develop and introduce characters and to plot the storyline.
As this is a ‘free-for-all’ we have had to write some rules, so please visit the rules page before you submit your finished chapters.
Good luck everyone!
The Global Novel team
