The new way to write a novel

 

Writer Coaching Team

Pageturners don’t happen by accident; they’re created.

We share what readers (and publishers) are looking for in a story before you begin writing so you can write with confidence in the direction of your dreams. With our unique 3-step course program, we’ll help you come up with the idea for the book only you can write, and assess your storyline before you put pen to paper. Your one-on-one coaching begins with a session to review your storyline and your mentor and writing coach will be at your side every step of the way as you complete the book you always wanted to write. 

 

Our dedicated focus will save you a whole lot of time and trouble and help you discover the joy of writing fiction, faster. The close and kindly relationship we have with our writers is at the heart of each and every one of our success stories. 

Who you learn from, who you write with, matters. You’ll choose your coach from our team of bestselling fiction authors whose books have hit the New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller lists. Just take a look at some of their novels below. They’ll help you write your bestseller now!

The path to get published

Youll work with professional publishing editors too, formerly at Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Hachette, Macmillan and Simon & Schuster. When your novel is ready, The Novelry will act on your behalf to make personal introductions to leading literary agencies that represent bestselling authors like Meg Wollitzer, Madeleine Miller, Liane Moriarty, Celeste Ng, Michael Ondaatje, Richard Osman, Marilynne Robinson, Philip Pullman, Tess Gerritsen, Andrew Sean Greer and Tom Clancy.

The worlds leading literary agencies look forward to receiving our course graduates manuscripts above all others and fast-track our submissions because they know they’re top notch and publishing-ready.
