The NovelryReviews of thenovelry.com

Multifaceted learning model. 24 hour access. International resources and knowledge of publishing industry. Professional but connects on a personal level. Suits all ages and stages. A caring, comprehensive approach backed by unequalled breadth of experience.

The Novelry has a comprehensive methodology which covers every step in the novel-writing process, from idea creation to drafting and editing--with a focus on meeting the current quality and commercial requirements for traditional publishing. They have a practical approach that will teach you industry best practices as you pass through the stages of developing your novel. Their self-paced online courses are ideal for writers who want to improve the craft and get their manuscript ready for publication. The online courses are supplemented by coaching calls, editorial feedback sessions, writing feedback, and even full manuscript assessments. The quality of their staff is amazing and well worth the investment.

I have been so impressed with everything about The Novelry, and am so glad I chose these wonderful people over the myriad of other online writing courses I investigated. The coursework (videos and text-based) is well presented and brilliantly informative, but also somehow seems to deliver just the right 'A-ha!' moments at just the right times in the writing journey. I also did not expect such an incredibly invested supporting cast. From the writing coaches (all published authors, and successful in their own right) who seem genuinely interested in your story and success, to an online community that's equally supportive, the entire experience has been brilliant.

Perhaps the most thoughtful, nurturing and rich creative writing course I've had the pleasure of 'attending'. It is an incredibly well thought through, and well paced course, that teaches the very basics as well as more advanced principles, know-how and tricks for how to accelerate your writing. The materials are bite-sized for people who are working a full-time job, but deep enough to excite and challenge in equal measure. The combination of written, video, aural tools, as well as professional, and community mentors means that the student is never left wondering where to go for advice. The only down-side is that, what with writing your own novel, there's so many classes, community discussions and back-cataloged videos to watch/engage with, that it's hard to squeeze it all into a year! Excellent course!

All the structure, education, coaching, and encouragement that I needed to get a novel done. They follow through on the promise: you really DO get coaching sessions with successful authors. I am completing the course with a novel I am proud of, ready to submit to agents. I will likely continue my membership, because—as anyone who has ever written a novel can tell you—the learning is never over.

Different than any writing course I've taken. It really addresses gaps in knowledge on how to write a novel.

The Novelry offers fabulous courses, workshops, 1-2-1s with supportive and experienced writing mentors, as well as the opportunity to work with industry editors. There’s such a lovely community of writers. It feels like a safe and welcoming place to write, edit, and improve as a writer. Thank you, Louise, for creating such a wonderful place for writers at every stage of our journey! X

The courses and coaching sessions are incredibly helpful from an experienced team that fully understands the publishing industry. Also, the response on customer service questions is fast and friendly.
