_{Take it at your own pace. Begin as and when you wish.We suggest a lesson a day on our beautiful interactive online platform and offer practical writing guidance, exercises and downloads. Watch the video, read the text and use the 'speak aloud' feature to listen. You'll need 15-20 minutes for each lesson. Take them on the commute! If you're writing a novel, we suggest you find one hour a day for your writing. Our cutting-edge platform keeps track of your progress and offers feedback on your plan and story as you go.}

You'll love the worldwide community and the full-body immersive experience of live writing classes with famous authors.}

_{Our business is your success. Our passion is writing. We're all working writers. We work one-to-one with each writer on our Novel course. Your journey begins with a first session to establish what you want to achieve, then we agree a custom writing plan. We keep you on track! For us, it's personal. Your success is our success. We want you to be published and take great pride in your achievements. Our writers often stay with us to write their next novel.}

_{We're not elitist or selective. We don't believe in 'God-given' genius or talent, we believe a great story makes for easy writing, so we focus on your story from the start.} 

_{Unlike other courses, we don't believe in peer-based review at first draft. (How does that make sense?) During the creative phase, you work in a cosy bubble with your tutor who believes in you and your story 100%.}

_{We have an onward journey for our writers mapped out and pitch work when it's ready to leading agents - and we don't take commission. It's a community based on trust and respect. That's why we have so many five star reviews from our beloved authors. (Read the writers' reviews of any writing course before you sign up!)}

_{We welcome you to The Novelry when you sign up for The Book in a Year plan with a first Welcome Call to meet for the first time with your tutor or with the course director, Louise Dean. At that first meeting, we’ll explain what’s in store, how it works and answer any questions.}

_{You'll kick off your year with The Big Idea, followed by the amazing Classic Course, a self-paced course of 45 lessons to ensure you're packing a big story idea.}

_{You'll move onto the Novel Course to write your novel next. When you have had time to use the first lessons to assess your idea from every angle, you’ll meet with your tutor to take a look at your proposed story idea. It's a 30-minute chat online via Zoom, recorded for you to keep. These are sleeves-rolled-up sessions, with your tutor at your side, a co-pilot for the journey. At your very first session, we ask you: what is your ambition? What do you want? This is your brief to us. We want to establish what you want so we can give you the best guidance to achieve your ambition.}

_{You can book your tutor calls at your convenience at our booking page. We offer times suitable for writers in all time zones worldwide. You can schedule and reschedule as you wish.} 

_{If you choose, at checkout, to upgrade to convert three of the six novel course calls to include feedback, you’ll have the opportunity to submit 2500 words in advance of a 45-minute meeting and your tutor will give you written feedback and talk you through it in the session.} 

_{You’ll have two longer sessions with us when you come onto The Big Edit, which is the last phase of the Book in a Year Plan. This course prepares your first draft for successful submission to our literary agent partners. We will look again at the story and how it’s developed in the first draft and ensure it’s shipshape and ready for revision. You can then produce a story we are confident of having every chance of success. You'll be able to use our worldwide writers' workshop to get constructive feedback from the best beta-readers - other writers.}

_{In the final session of The Big Edit, you submit your first three chapters and synopsis - the traditional submissions package - to us and we review it with forensic care before we make a plan with you to pitch to the agents of your choice on our impressive list of literary agency partners. No slush pile for our graduates! Literary agents such as United Agents and Trident Media Group in the USA, have come to look forward to high-quality manuscripts from The Novelry. Happy writing, guaranteed.}
