This is simply the best course on novel writing currently available. Forget doing an MA in creative writing - sign up to the Novelry instead. It's not only better but cheaper. Award winning novelist Louise Dean has really thought about all the ingredients required to create a perfect, marketable novel. When I came to the Novelry I had already done an MA in Screenwriting (which was a waste of time and money) and had two books of poetry published as well as several sell out stage shows - what I learned at the Novelry however has changed my approach to writing and also made me realise that I am first and foremost a story teller and novelist. There is no going back now - I just want to write books. I first took the Novel in 90 days which was so well thought out and useful with daily videos, story telling exercises as well as brilliant analyses of classic texts that this course was a reward in itself. There are also brilliant one to one tutorials available with one of the many acclaimed novelists who have signed up as tutors. I was then sure I was on the right track and signed up for the Big Edit course where I began to edit and polish my material. I am now looking at my first novel getting published. When Louise says in her introduction "welcome home writers." she means it - this is the place where you belong and where you will thrive. If you are having any doubts about whether to do an expensive MA or sign up to the Novelry - do yourself a favour and come home to where you belong - The Novelry.

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.
