Novel Journey began in 2004 as the brainchild of aspiring novelist, Gina Holmes. It started as “First Novel Journey” and was to chronicle her fabulously interesting and quick path to the publication of her debut novel.
When she started tracking her hits, she realized that maybe her journey wasn’t as interesting to other aspiring writers as she had thought. She jokes that she had 3 readers back then and one of them was her.
Five years later and a name change later, Novel Journey has morphed into one of the most influential writing websites of its kind. Last year it took the honor of being named one of Writer’s Digest’s best websites for writers.
The site is followed by novelists, readers and industry professionals and has featured interviews with everyone from Dean Koontz to Nicholas Sparks. The Novel Journey team is made up of journalists, writers, commentators and even a devotional writer.
If you’re a writer, or aspiring writer, this site features excellent information and networking opportunities. If you are simply a lover of good books, you’ll discover as many new authors as you’ve got time to read—Gina Holmes being the newest of this group. After ten years of rejection and over five years of promoting other authors, Ms. Holmes will debut with Crossing Oceans, releasing with Tyndale House in May, 2010. The book is already getting rave early reviews and is being called a cross between Jodi Piccoult and Nicholas Sparks but written from a Biblical worldview.
Selected posts from Novel Journey will be syndicated and available on The Literary life in the future - giving everyone something to look forward to.
