Question about the Columbia Supplement

<p>On Columbia’s supplement, it has a section for required books/reading and one for just pleasure reading.</p>

<p>So for the pleasure reading section, I was wondering if the books had to be officially published…
Like, I read A LOT of online “novels” that haven’t been officially published, but if it were to be someday published (because they’re really really good), the books would be about 150-300 pages in total… which is an average length for most books.</p>

<p>What I was wondering was if I could put those “novels” that I read in the “what you read for fun” section on the Columbia supplement… or do they actually have to be officially published (like under a publishing company).</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>And also, does anyone know for sure if we have to put the authors name along with the titles of the books?</p>

<p>To your first question, absolutely! You can also include a brief note about how those are online novels; it might make you stand out a little in that you take the time to read things that many other people haven’t heard of because they interest you greatly.</p>

<p>To the second question, it doesn’t matter. But, in your case, I would just because they probably wouldn’t know the authors of your online books.</p>
