The '''New Novel''' data entry form allows you to enter information for a new publication that is a novel.  The screen is similar to the other "New . . ." screens, such as "New Magazine" and "New Collection", except that the "Content" part of the screen is labeled "Additional Content".

The screen is accessible by clicking on the "Add New Novel" link in the left navbar.  This link is visible from the [http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi ISFDB home page], and from other display pages within the ISFDB.

The following is a detailed definition of exactly what should be entered in each field on this screen.  These definitions are intentionally very complete.  If you are looking for a quick summary of how to use this screen, please refer to [[Help:Getting Started]] which gives a simplified description of how to enter a book's publication details.

== Additional Content ==

The "Additional Content" section is used to enter forewords, introductions, interior art, essays, excerpts from forthcoming books, reviews, interviews and other information that may appear in Novel publications -- see [[Help:Screen:NewPub]] for detailed instructions on what to enter in this section. Do not re-enter the main Novel record in this section.

Once you're done entering the data, check it over, and then press the "Submit Data" button.  This will put your data into the "submission queue".  It won't immediately update the ISFDB.  The submission queue is managed by the ISFDB moderators, who periodically look at the submissions and decided whether to approve or reject them.  If you check back after a while you'll find you submission has been dealt with, and, most likely, approved.  If you now search for your novel's title, you should see your book's data is now part of the ISFDB.
