Outline your novel with expert insights

Whether it’s your first novel and it needs to pack a punch, your second novel or your sixth, here’s how to write your best story ever.

Establish a high-stakes story that allows you to achieve your ambitions, whether that’s commercial sales figures, awards listings, or creative fulfilment. With this course, you’ll gain absolute control of your story from the first moment you outline your structure and plot.

The course takes an insider’s look under the bonnet of Pulitzer and Booker Prize-winning novels to consider how to bring the best storytelling techniques to find the sweet spot of acclaim and bestseller status.

 

Booker-listed award-winning author, Louise Dean, shares the secrets of writing award-winning novels in this unique course of 30 game-changing lessons. You’ll learn how a strong theme allows you to test the merit of every element of your story: from setting to casting, the secondary characters and the purpose of the sub-plot.  You’ll develop the advanced writing skills and techniques to bring places and people to life in deft, well-judged strokes. Choose the most effective treatment and perspective to tell your story, and drive a singular vision through your novel. Chapter by chapter, line by line, the course will enable you to give your most polished performance on the page.

‘A big eye-opener’ 

The writing course with rave reviews

advanced writing course review

The Novelry’s Advanced Course came along at exactly the right moment for me, when I was battling with low self-confidence and a first draft I didn’t know what to do with. It’s helped me regain perspective, focussed me and given me back my belief in my ability to write. I feel ready and able to tackle my next draft now, will all the new tools I’ve acquired in my belt, and I know I’ll be going back over some of the sessions to reinforce them.

—Laura Pearson, author

I thoroughly enjoyed having a process to follow so that it didn’t feel like I was doing it alone. 70k words in 4 months and it felt really easy getting the complete story told.’

—Kate Gunn, author

outline a book

Invaluable. A big eye-opener. I’ve done many writing courses, many of which rely heavily on the workshopping method. The Novelry offers far more. I’m the author of over 170 books. The Novelry picked me up when I was floundering, gave me direction, gave me a safe place, and gave me permission to find my own magic.’

—Candice F. Ransom, author

For your success story

 

The Advanced Course not only gave me the crucial accountability I needed to get going, it also helped me to tackle structure, plot and theme, and realise what kind of writer I am. All of these things gave me a huge boost of renewed confidence, allowing me to dive into my next novel feeling more prepared than I ever have done before. I’m feeling hopeful that maybe, just maybe, I could be on to a winner.’ —Ella Dove, journalist and author of Five Steps To Happy.
