If you're a writer, whether published or just want to be, and are finding yourself in a bit of a rut and in need of some community and inspiration, I could not recommend The Novelry more fervently. It is run at such a high level. Louise Dean's courses combine intellectual rigor with the sheer joy and wonder of writing, tremendous humor, and motivational boot camp pep talks. Then there is the enthusiasm and team spirit of all the amazing coaches and editors, all acclaimed and highly regarded with years of experience. Then there are the guest speakers that include hugely successful writers, and agents. Everyone is at the top of their game. Finally, the community forum interface is exceptional, great for networking with other writers. I'm now in my second year of being part of this community, getting ready for the ultimate manuscript assessment, and it never disappoints. No question is too silly, no plea for help ignored. The Novelry bursts at the seams with its brilliance on every level. It is a godsend.

I loved the Classic Course. It helped to renew my confidence in myself as an aspiring novelist. The course content and exercises as well as the encouragement and support of the online community and teachers were all wonderful. Can't wait to now get started on The Ninety Novel Writing Course now. Would recommend this to any writer, no matter where you are on your writing journey.

A Career Changing Experience I have published a number of books that were shortlisted and honorably mentioned in nationally recognized competitions. Yet, I realized after taking The Novelry's 90 Day Novel and Big Edit Courses how much I had missed in attempting to learn writing on my own. These classes opened my eyes to essential literary elements that I'd read about but never quite understood how to execute in my own prose. Following their step by step guide to character development, pacing and theme afforded me crucial insight not only into what will keep readers turning pages but the importance of the writing journey itself!

I am about to start The Big Edit and I have to say I am so impressed with the courses, the workshops, the app, and most of all, the couches. They have been phenomenal and so supportive. They have given me the confidence to believe that I can write a successful novel.

I have been writing for almost my entire life, assuming a love of writing was enough to see me through to a published bestseller. And while that is a great (and important!) place to start after two failed novel submissions I decided to seek outside help. With a motto of "happy writing," The Novelry is truly a home and support for aspiring authors. No matter where you are in your writing journey, I'd recommend taking one of their classes! I'll admit, the cost is not small but it is worth every penny. I am completely changed as a writer since starting (and recently completing) The Big Edit and have so many more tools in my writing toolkit when I am struggling, feeling challenged, or just plain blocked.

If you're thinking about taking your writing to the next level, I can not recommend The Novelry enough. The course is designed to grow your idea and motivate you to write the book you've alway said one day you'll write. Whether a novice or an experienced writer, the 90 Day Novel Course will give you the tools to be able to complete your first draft by the end of the course. The coaching sessions with best selling writers are priceless. I very much felt like the Novelry want you to succeed.

The Novelry is not just an amazing writing course, it is so much more. It is also a community of ambitious writers, authors, mentors, editors, and all-round lovely people who will be with you on your writing journey. Joining The Novelry two years ago was the best decision I made. The courses are designed in a way that will keep you motivated and excited to find your story. I joined before I even had a story idea and since then I have written a first draft, been through rounds of edits, and have a complete manuscript I am really proud of. Thanks to the expert guidance of The Novelry the manuscript has received interest from a number of agents and was longlisted in an award this year. I am so glad that I have found my writing community!

If you've done a lot of craft workshops, literary deep dives, and writing intensives---and have lost your way with the juice and spark of writing---this course may be the elixir you need. Bye bye somber morning hours and authorial ennui. Hello creative flash and vibrant, sustainable story-telling life.
