Yes! Our courses focus on the development of your story as we know that’s the key ingredient for successful submission to literary agents and editors who will only consider the story and the pitch before they get to reading your work, in the same way readers scan the back jacket copy before deciding to buy. Story is everything, but so many aspiring writers don’t understand that and focus on their writing style wasting time on the fancy words when the story sucks. We make sure we work alongside you in coaching sessions, giving feedback on your storyline as it develops, in every session. We take a real-world practical approach to getting published that no other course does. Just check out our success stories.

You can get feedback on your writing as and when you want it with additional paid feedback sessions with your coach or your editorial team. We don’t include these in the plans as it would put the price up and not all writers need them, or some have signed up for a course like The Finished Novel Course which includes feedback in The Big Edit phase and a full manuscript read too.

We strongly advise writers to get feedback on the storyline only (included in your coaching) at first draft. Once you know the story, you can then revise it in the editing phase of our program and that’s the right place to get feedback. Otherwise you’re wasting your time and money! We don’t want that! Our process is carefully considered to help writers make it all the way to publishing without spending a fortune on editors before they know they have a great story!

You can purchase additional feedback sessions to 5000 words a time at $425 USD or £350 GBP and enjoy as much expert feedback or critique from our Big 5 editors or your writing coach as you want.

Our writing community is online worldwide 24/7. Wherever you are, you’ll find writing buddies online when you’re seeking good company. It’s a hive of friendly writerly encouragement, full of advice, tips and news, and you can get feedback on your work when you’re editing your novel too, at our workshop. You’ll be invited to join the closed secure community when you join us on our courses or classes. With our Catch Up TV service, you can watch back all recorded guest events at a time to suit you. Find out more about our community here.

We offer weekly writing classes for all writers at any stage, including genre workshops and our Story Clinic, which is hosted by a writing mentor. Come and meet your fellow writers. We offer live sessions with bestselling authors and industry professionals every other week, and the monthly Team Chat with our founder.

Don’t worry if you miss a special guest event class. They are available recorded as part of our Catch Up TV at our community. You’ll love our vast library of recorded classes with world-famous writers like Kristin Hannah, Yann Martel, Tayari Jones, Val McDermid, Paula Hawkins, David Nicholls and many more.

Our typical writer member has wanted to write a book for a long, long time. They are heavy readers, very often cat- or dog-lovers, and they are very curious about the way humans work too! We know writers are sensitive souls, that’s why we’ve created such a warm and nurturing environment. We’re writers too! Writers at any stage of their journey will flourish at The Novelry.

We welcome beginners. (No bad habits!) We are open to all and non-selective as a principle because we know we can teach. What do you need? Probably a love of reading is all.

If you have a novel you have started or abandoned, you will find all you need to stay on track to complete it this time.

Often writers come to us after taking courses elsewhere.We are the place writers come to write through to achieving their goals because our focus is wholly on you and your story. Your success means the world to us.

For guidance all the way from coming up with a page-turning idea through to completing your book to publishing standard, our most popular plan is The Finished Novel Course.

It’s our online alternative to a Creative Writing MA or MFA with a structured approach to writing a book with full coaching and editorial support. The lessons are self-paced and will fit into a busy lifestyle. You’ll be able to choose your own coach from our award-winning and bestselling writing coaches based in the U.S.A., Canada and the U.K., and schedule working sessions at your convenience. You’ll work with publishing editors, formerly of Penguin Random House, Macmillan, Hachette and more, to raise your book to publishing standard, with a full manuscript assessment included. When your story is ready we will present it to our trusted literary agencies who are keen to see our graduates’ work.

As a member, you’ll have access to our regular writing classes on a weekly basis with bestselling authors. You’ll enjoy the worldwide community of writers like you in every time zone. It’s a happy place and you’ll find a warm welcome. 

You can view our courses side by side and choose the course that’s right for you here.

An hour a day. You can take the classes at your own pace and spend as much time as you like writing after the lesson. Writers LOVE the lessons and binge them, but we suggest one lesson a day, which will take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, or as long as you wish to allow. The lesson is given by video and text with downloads online and it’s timed to coincide with where you’re at in your writing process. You’ll need to set aside an hour a day for your writing when you begin to put pen to paper. It’s one hour just for you and you’ll come to love this special time.

One hour a day? You deserve it.

Our self-paced writing classes and courses start the moment you sign up. Ready when you are!

You have a year’s access to your class or course but can easily and affordably extend access to your program with our extension plans for a maximum price of $55 or £45 a month (less if you buy an annual plan) or remain as a member for just $399/£299 a year or $39.99 or $29.99 a month.
