Novelist is the name of a number of acts:

1) Kojo Kankam, known professionally as Novelist, is a grime solo artist. He is a member of The Square and is signed to XL Recordings.

2) Novelist was formed in 2005 by Chase Middaugh and Ryan McMullen – both looking to explore new options to writing and performing music. The initial sounds were heavy, slow paced, constructed pieces with improvised performances such as those heard on Drosera- their debut recording.
