The Ninety Day Novel Class  

‘The Novelry’s course has inspired me to believe I can write my novel, and I have finished a draft that I’m proud of! Each session with Louise takes you step by step through the process and delivers the right tools at just the right time to help you trust in yourself and create a story you love. The tasks in each section have helped me to access my creativity in new ways. I’ve made breakthroughs with my ideas that will really help me going forward. The checklists and resources have helped me to plan and dream and approach my writing in a different way. My writing coach has been invaluable in challenging me and pushing me to really nail my ideas down and raise the stakes of my story. It’s a lovely, welcoming community where you can learn in a supportive environment with resources like workshops, interviews with other authors, editors, and publishers, and Catch Up TV. There is so much depth to the course and help with every aspect of writing a novel. I was feeling jaded before I started and this has reinvigorated me and taught me to plan and dream and approach my writing in a fun way.’

‘I came in needing to repair my relationship with writing! I loved having The Novelry as a companion as I began developing my novel. The lessons kept me accountable to the process as well as being able to access Catch Up TV and attend live events. Knowing a coaching session was coming and getting ready for that has also been helpful. Overall, this experience helped me feel like I’ll be going into writing my novel really prepared and on point. Before I thought there was no way I could write a novel in 90 days, but now I’ve done so much work to set up for success (way more than an hour a day) that it actually seems possible. I also want to say that Louise is excellent at the helm, and all the coaches I’ve met have been fantastic.’

‘105,880 words! I have also gained enormous confidence, and I believe that the encouragement I received at The Novelry has been a contributing factor to the WILDLY positive change in my mental health. I am so, so grateful and more proud of myself than I have ever been. I’ve loved my time with The Novelry. The coaching sessions have been invaluable to me in generating stronger ideas, and my confidence has grown exponentially. If you want to take your writing seriously and have a team of professionals do the same, The Novelry is the place to come to!’

‘I have a first draft! I wasn’t sure I could make the jump from non-fiction to fiction. It feels like so much has changed in doing the course that I can barely remember the before. All of the lessons seemed to come at exactly the right time for me. When I needed support, I got it. The coaching sessions were the best. I am so glad that I chose The Novelry. The lessons are like spices for the experience—some new, some comforting, some exotic—that allowed me to really savor the experience of writing a first draft. Though I wrote alone, I was never lost or lonely.’

‘The Novelry is by far, hands down, the best online writing school ever. Why? Because they are brilliant, smart, supportive, honest and understanding. But most importantly, they made me feel safe as a writer. I got the best support, the best advice and a lifetime of knowledge.’

‘Taking The Ninety Day Novel with The Novelry has been genuinely transformative for me. The course is encouraging and brilliantly conceived; the daily lessons forge good habits, and I completed my first draft on time, surprised myself that I could rise early every single day to write, and genuinely looked forward to the daily lessons. I would recommend it to all fledgling novelists.’

‘I completed my first draft, 83,000 words! Each step of the process was fascinating to me, and I enjoyed it immensely. I learned to trust myself and the process and keep writing, which was a tremendous breakthrough for me! I began with The Classic Class and would recommend both together for anyone who wants to write a novel. I rediscovered the joy of writing with this course and am grateful for the experience.’

‘I didn’t think I had a story in me. I now have a 90,000-word first draft that I can actually see becoming a book someday. The course delivers on its promise and more. The daily lessons helped me establish a writing practice; the sense of belonging to the community made me feel less alone, and my meetings with my mentor helped me breathe life into my story. It was pure joy.’

‘The Ninety Day Novel has been an amazing experience. The lessons were filled to the brim with actionable and inspiring information and the writing coaches are knowledgeable and so giving with their time and care.’

‘Satisfaction and 90,000+ words! First, it is a lot of fun. Second, it provides a blueprint and a structure on how to get the novel written. Third, it isn’t a grind. You will work hard but have fun. There is encouragement to finish, but this isn’t like boot camp, where you are thrashed until you are done. And at the end, there is that first draft of the novel you always wanted to write.’

‘I liked the setup of each lesson—a video, then a written lesson, and short but very relevant tasks at the end. I feel that the way each lesson is created helps to guide you through the course completing each section in bite-size chunks and building on the knowledge you gain along the way. This has been the most positive and enjoyable experience that has really made me feel like getting a novel written and even published isn’t just a pipe dream.’

‘I completed the first draft of my novel! But maybe more importantly, I was challenged and learned so much about where stories come from and how to bring them to life and nurture them. Everything was spot on for what I was doing: the guidance on how to set up a productive writing life, every lesson, every coaching session. I’ve loved every day of the course! So wise and encouraging. I’m so grateful for the help.’

‘I wrote a novel! Seriously, I couldn’t have done it without your guidance. I was so lost before The Novelry. You kept me safe, as promised. The Novelry has a robust offering of extras, including live zooms, recorded zooms, blogs, and even its own social media site. Writing every day is a simple and obvious concept, but I needed to be told and cheered on, and you did that for me. I enjoyed the daily lessons and established a successful work routine that included reading lessons, reading books, and writing. At The Novelry, I was pushed, in a nice way, to use every brain cell I have. I woke up earlier to write, prioritizing my dream of completing my novel. I’m proud of what I accomplished.’

‘I have much more confidence that I could actually write this, finish it, edit it and even try to get it published. I read a lot of books! And it was a bit like taking a course on reading a novel at the same time, which I enjoyed. I overcame my fear of dialogue because I could not avoid writing it for 90 days! I have a morning writing habit, I have changed the way I think about a book and how it works. It’s great motivation and full of things to think about. I’d absolutely recommend it.’

‘I was wondering if I would be able to finish this novel! The joy of daily writing, flexing my creativity and being guided by professionals meant I finished my first draft and got the joy of writing back again. If you’re serious about writing, then this is the place to be. You will be in good hands.’

‘Before joining the course, I was worried about my plot being solid. I now have confidence that I can do this! Great advice from my coach. Outstanding genre-specific workshops! I have an 80,000 word first draft! The Novelry has convinced me that with discipline and the desire to learn, I can write a novel that readers will truly enjoy.’
