CompletelyNovel is a website which allows authors to self-publish their work into a reading and writing online community. Based in the United Kingdom, the company was founded in 2008 by Oliver Brooks and Anna Lewis, the site encourages writers to make their work available for people to read in order that they can gain feedback and promote their work. CompletelyNovel has been compared to other writer websites such as Authonomy which offers writers the chance to get their book published by major publishers by getting good reviews from other users; Lulu.com, which offers similar self-publishing services; and Shelfari, which has a book-based online community.
