Congratulations

In the past year, Novelcat experimented with an author grading system to give good authors credit and rewards that matched their efforts.  So far, the system has been successful: higher level authors are indeed receiving more generous benefits than ever before.
To date, over a hundred authors have been rated above Level 5.  Some of the authors are old friends who have been working with Novelcat for three years, and some are excellent new friends who have upgraded their levels to 5 (or above) in just one year or even in just three months.  Here, let's congratulate the following authors! They keep updating and improving their writing skills, and finally provide our readers with many wonderful and creative stories.  
In the New Year, please keep working hard to create miracles in your writing journey!  Finally, we warmly welcome the new authors who have just joined us!  We will walk alongside you and help you turn your every vague idea into a gripping story.  Together we will make every story you write count!

In the coming year, we will choose the most promising author to be the WRITING STAR of the year. And give the author reward $5000 and special avatar medal, we are looking forward to your participation!
