You can take the courses at your own pace and spend as much time as you like writing, of course. We suggest one lesson a day, which will take as long as you want to give it. Each lesson is packed with ideas, prompts and exercises to help you develop your story.

As a minimum, each lesson would take from 10–20 minutes. 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? You deserve it.

The moment you sign up you will enter the wonderful world of The Novelry and you can take your time to explore it and enjoy a warm welcome in our online community.

You will have time to settle built into your course. Simply head to your course library and tuck into the first cozy lessons.

You will need a device like a computer or a tablet to access the course online. That’s it!

We don’t test you or ask you to apply for our courses. We know we can teach! Plus, we do love complete beginners. (No bad habits.)

You’ll work with a writing coach writing in your genre.

You’ll meet when you begin The Ninety Day Novel. We’ll guide you on how to create an outline for a novel, and your coach or mentor will look at your planned storyline before you put pen to paper to ensure it’s as strong as it can be before you start writing, so that you can write with confidence.

If you’re unsure who to choose, we’ll advise who would be the best writing coach for you once we see your first plan (it’s all guided inside the course, don’t worry!) You’ll be able to book your coaching sessions at times to suit you. The sessions are 45 minutes online, and you’ll have time to get help with story development and troubleshoot any problems in your story to stay on track. All sessions are recorded for you to keep and we keep abreast of your story progress with our interactive process.

Our coaching begins by ensuring you are writing a great story so that you can write with confidence towards achieving your ambition. Your writing mentor will give you ideas and suggestions for development from your very first session. During your writing, your coaching will ensure the story gets stronger. We keep track of your progress and help troubleshoot any pitfalls and fill plot holes in the coaching sessions.

You can choose how much feedback on your work you want with our ‘build your book your way’ scheme to buy extra feedback on your work as you write. Once you join us for a course, you can simply purchase Paid Feedback Sessions for £350 or $425 for a 5000-word submission to our editorial team as and when you need it. The Paid Feedback sessions allow you to book in with one of our editors for a review and report on 5000 words at a time. You’ll enjoy a 45-minute video debrief where you can ask any questions. We recommend you reserve these sessions for the second half of the year, when you’re more certain of the story and can apply the feedback to written work you know you’re keeping. Use them during the third phase of the year – The Big Edit – to really sharpen and hone your chapters.

The courses are self-paced so you can take the lessons in your own time, your way. You can schedule your coaching sessions to suit you too.

You have access for a year but can easily extend your course or membership from $29.99 or £24.99 a month.
