» In ten years of service, we have never once received a report from a member
that another member has stolen their creative work. In sharing your work anywhere (including in-person writing groups)
you run a risk of others copying your ideas, but authors do copy and recycle ideas and end up giving them their own
unique stamp. Rags to riches, voyage and return - the same story archetypes have many versions.
You control what other members can read by what you choose to share for critique, and you can unpublish a
shared critique submission at any time or share a submission to a specific group on the website only. You also
retain all copyright of writing shared on Now Novel. If you have concerns over copyright, consult with your national copyright authority's resources on how best to safeguard your intellectual property.
