Creative Writing Courses
With coaching and a community.
The writing courses with accountability built-in.
A clear path to publishing
Or simply write for the joy of it!
Just getting started?
Can we let you in on a little secret? Storytelling isn’t all about talent. In fact, it’s mostly about learning the trade. And you don’t have to wait for a grand sign from the universe, or that elusive big idea to find you.
Storytelling can be taught. Voices can be shaped. And brilliance can be crafted.
Welcome to our safe and supportive writing space. It’s where we grow writers.
Suggested courses
Want to take your writing to the next level?
Simply put, you love to write. In fact, it’s less a thing you do, and more a part of who you are. You’re just wired that way.
You’re bursting with big ideas, and your notebook with one-liners. There may also be a few abandoned writing projects just waiting for their moment to shine. (Or for someone to find them in the trash.)
Time and budget are tight; family and work demands are high. So, a lot is riding on the writing training you choose to take.
And while you want a flexible, fun and playful course, when it comes to your final novel – you’re not playing.
Welcome to The Novelry. We’ll give you the roadmap to writing success. And you’ll have fun on the ride too.
Ready to get your book over the line?
You’ve tried many courses. You have the story (and it’s not bad). But your novel has never quite managed to find its final destination.
Maybe you need a little help on the editing front? Perhaps you’ve dabbled in self-publishing? Or you’re looking for your first agent.
Whatever the reason, the complex realm of literary agencies and publishing houses can feel half a world away. A closed book. Impenetrable.
You brave the journey, you finally find the door, you knock, and…silence.
Well, not any more. Welcome to The Novelry. We’ll help you find the keys.
