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

For me, this has been a game-changer. This experience woke me up inside. It gave me something to look forward to in the lonely world of writing. It changed my life and there is no going back. That is what Novelry gave me. Some direction. I would recommend The Novelry 100%. Because it works. It is real. And Louise is honest and genuine in her approach.

The Novelry demystifies the process of writing a novel. I have finished the first draft with an increased love of writing. I enjoyed the chats with Louise, lessons that helped create a writing routine, the careful consideration of great authors' work. Thank you so much, this is the best thing I have done in a while.

I have completed a first draft. Before joining, I had many small pieces of writing and had taken other courses so had some techniques, but no way of writing a coherent piece all the way through. The Ninety Day Novel course at The Novelry has a structure and discipline that other courses do not. Loved it. Truly. Can't thank you enough.

A fabulous, exceptionally well-run course for both beginners as well as advanced writers. Rather than teaching how to write, Louise creates an environment which allows for immersion in the discipline. The brain re-wires faster, with sustained impact. Highly recommendable !

The Classic course has given me more than I ever thought it could. There were several points of the course that unlocked something or gave me an incredible high-five moment! This course has taken my idea from a single thought to a fully-formed concept, and something that I wholeheartedly want to pursue.

Five stars. I'd recommend the Classic course at The Novelry. Reading familiar and new classic books with a focus on style and content made me think about my own style of prose and how I could look at improving it. I have already made changes to the novel during this course, and I'm feeling quite excited about it.

Writers with the ambition to hone their work to its best quality will find The Novelry a godsend - and the care and support I've received are second to none. I think the invaluable combination for me was the daily writing/reading and check-ins with the lessons to urge me on. I also feel a forward momentum towards honing for submission (after the editing, of course!)-- again with caring guidance and support at every step. There is also a built-in community of other supportive authors. I "feel" more like a writer now. I'm so glad I found The Novelry. It's like coming home.
