★ The Open Novella Contest is a collaborative project spanning different corners of the Ambassador-run profiles.

★ The Open Novella Contest has one goal in mind - encouraging Novella writing.

★ There is a slight change from last year’s ONC in which this year’s contest will be a total of 13 weeks from February 1st, 2021 to May 2nd, 2021.

★ This is a writing challenge unlike NaNoWriMo

Although NaNoWriMo is an extremely impressive feat to accomplish, for those with compact schedules the Open Novella Contest provides a wide berth in the writing timeline and a shorter word count goal.

★ Perfect opportunity to test out a new genre

Let’s be honest. We’ve all been there, wanting to delve into a new genre but not necessarily for a full-fledged novel. You can use ONC as a way to “test the waters” before you dive into the world of your new genre interest!

★ New Year’s Resolution or Personal Goals in mind

Perhaps you have New Year’s Resolution set in stone, or you’re wanting to escape from the writer’s block box, or simply to set a new personal goal for yourself!

★ Dust off the old ideas you shelved in the past

Whether it be an idea you shelved a week ago or an idea from the beginning of your Wattpad profile, this is as good a time as any to dust it off and bring it back to life.

★ You either missed out on the last ONC and/or have counted down the days until the next!

Look no further, in a few days time the Open Novella Contest will officially launch on (Eastern Standard Time) and you’ll be free to write your novella masterpiece!
