About The Novelry

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

They really care about their customers!

I purchased the Novel Development Course on a pay monthly plan, and emailed a few months ago to pay off the remainder of my fee in one go. Two days ago, I left a review on Trustpilot expressing my disappointment that we were only given a few hours to renew our membership before it expired, and I had 4 calls left unused. Louise emailed me to explain an error on their system following the change (at my request) in payment plan. I was supposed to get an email 30 days before but because of the error following the changed payment, the email didn't go out. If you saw the previous review, I want to stress that my experience turned out to be a system error and was not the fault of Louise nor The Novelry. Thank you to Louise and The Novelry for offering me the renewal on the house, and for their speedy response to my concerns. I can't express how much this means to me as. Like I said in the old review, the writing coaches are amazing, and the 1:1 calls are very helpful. So is the library of live call replays with the writing coaches and other authors, and my WIP novel would not be the same without either of those aspects of the Novel Development Course. Thank you so much again!

Hi Emily, We’d love to have you back! Your membership was active and available until its expiry. All our courses include a full year’s access, as explained before purchase — but it’s super easy to stay with us, and most writers do! We sent three reminder emails before expiry, with options to continue from just £29.99/month or to keep everything included at £45/month. We’d be delighted to welcome you back on those same terms — many writers rejoin after a short break and simply pick up where they left off. We’re so glad you found value in your coaching sessions and the live classes, and we’ll share your kind words with your coaches — they’ll be pleased to hear it. If you’d like to chat about setting up a flexible renewal, please drop us a line to [email protected]. We're always here for our writers and very responsive to emails. Happy writing, The Novelry Team
