Featured Youth & Teachers

Youth have the creative energy to create great work, but oftentimes do not have the proper resources to get their work recognized. It is important to reach a large audience to have an impact, and Novelly’s Rising Voices Collective can help you.

It’s so easy to feel comfortable, and not strive to go out of your comfort zone. Breaking out of your comfort zone has many benefits such as better conversational skills, more innovation, more physical and mental endurance, as well as social and academic progress. Let's work together to pop the comfort bubble by utilizing Novelly’s many resources, notably the SPEAK! Program and the Rising Voices Collective.

AAPI hate rose at a shocking speed during the COVID-19 outbreak, and stories in the Novelly library recall personal experiences and thoughts. These novellas can hopefully educate students and teachers on the true extent of how detrimental to Asian-Americans’ mental health, and spark some thought into enacting change.

As a high school student, this is my case for why English Teachers should teach Novelly’s library, which shows variety in layers and literary elements while staying true to Novelly’s niche of the voices and stories of underrepresented youth.

80% of teenagers do not read for pleasure, according to the American Psychological Association. Though many believe the rise of social media as a pastime to be a culprit, there is another factor: the pressure schools place on students to view books as simply a means to an end, along with a lack of choice of what books can be read. If you're struggling to find stories relevant to you, the Novelly library is a perfect place to find your next read.
