The Novelry is the fiction writing school for serious writers.Through expert courses, one-to-one coaching with bestselling authors, and a vibrant global community, we guide writers along a clear, structured path from first idea to a finished, submission-ready novel.Founded by Booker Prize-listed author Louise Dean, The Novelry brings together bestselling writers and editors from Big Five publishers including Penguin Random House. Our programs combine professional editorial insight with structured guidance, giving writers the craft, confidence and support needed to complete their books.A note on our submissions service. We introduce manuscripts to our partner literary agencies at no cost and take no commission, and we do it by invitation only — when a manuscript is ready for the commercial market. Every member is eligible and no purchase buys a submission; the invitation depends on the manuscript alone. We hold that line deliberately, because our agents' trust is what makes the introduction worth having. It also means most writers are told "not yet" at least once, and some are disappointed by that. We'd rather be honest about the standard than lower it.Writers join The Novelry to learn the craft properly.More at www.thenovelry.com**Connect with The Novelry**Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thenovelryInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenovelry/X (Twitter): https://x.com/thenovelryYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheNovelry

There were times I felt like an atheist at Sunday School when taking The Classic Course, and there were times when a light went off. I suspect the times I felt like an atheist will be the most useful, and that's why I recommend it: it pushes you to to push yourself.

I am currently working through their novel 90 days course, sorry I can only give them 5 stars they are superb, the quality of their teaching material is excellent and the speed with which they respond to emails is top notch. If you are looking for a creative writing course this is without doubt the place to go, excellent.

This course was like going on a wonderful, magical journey, full of inspiration. It was a hands-on, helpful guide through the nitty-gritty of laying the foundation for writing a classic novel.

A truly enjoyable and enlightening course that is designed so that you take all the time you need to absorb the content. A bit of soul searching is required at times but this is no bad thing. You will have to dig deep to recall emotions and memories from childhood that will help you unlock all the shiny best bits from the rest of the course. If your intentions are to go on and write your own novel or if you just want to learn what elements the great stories have in common, then I can't recommend this course highly enough. So treat yourself, treat someone else. This course will be the gift that keeps on giving.

If like me you have been coming up with story or character ideas for years and haven't get found the place to set them free - you need look no further! When I found The Novelry I couldn't believe my luck. The courses are produced in such an engaging, contemporary style that you really feel in safe hands. The course content is clear, fun and inspiring and you wont believe where it takes your imagination to fine tune your ideas, come up with new ones or even just take a moment to truly appreciate some books we may not have read since childhood and why they work so well. There are lots of tools that are used to help you glean information from your own life to use in your idea and this I really enjoyed. Don't question it. Just jump in!

Life-changing. An experience that unlocked the story and the faith within me.

The Novelry for me has made my writing a game-changer. I first took the Classic course which is brilliant and well-executed with each lesson building on the last. Having a mentor is amazing, not just a friend who writes but an established writer who has been in the trenches and knows what you are going through. I used to say 'I'm trying to write a book.' I just finished the 90 Day Novel course, and close to finishing my first draft. It has taught me invaluable lessons that I will use for the rest of my 'writing career." That's the difference of how I feel after finishing this course. I'm more confident and now have all the tool to write a Best Seller (Sellers), now it's just up to me.

They say everyone has a book in them and I have more than a few. But no matter how hard I tried, I always felt the stories were not as good as I wanted them to be. This course helped develop a daily habit of writing and took me through the classics in a completely different way to my school days. I learnt how to construct a novel to grip the reader's attention, how to improve my style and ultimately how to submit my work to agents. Well worth the money.
