What do you get with a Write Your Novel! subscription?

All the benefits of a Write Your Novel! subscription including learning the craft, accountability and community support.

Welcome to Write Your Novel!

Write Your Novel! is the very first Substack of its kind.

Have you ever dreamt of writing a novel but don’t know where to start? Perhaps you started some time ago, and life got in the way? Maybe you’re looking for a community of people in a similar position to help encourage you on your journey?

Well, whatever position you’re in, if you’re looking to write a novel: this is the place. This community is catered towards writers of every stage of their journey, from those nurturing their ideas to those wrestling with a final draft. Whether it’s your first novel or your fifteenth, we’re all in it together.

With a subscription to Write Your Novel! you’ll find the community and content that you need to write and finish your novel.

Learning the Craft

This is content and posts that are derived to help break down the complexities of novel writing. I’ll share thoughts and writing on elements of the craft including topics such as planning, character development, plotting, setting, point of view, conflict, dialogue and much more.

You’ll get help and advice that you can implement into your writing straight away.

Not all writing advice will come from the same place. I’m looking forward to hosting guest writers and directing you to some of my other favourite resources to support your writing journey.

Community Support

Writing is hard. Usually frustrating. Sometimes lonely. But it doesn’t have to be. With Write Your Novel! you’ll find a supportive and collaborative community of like-minded writers. Through the Substack chat, group discussions, comments and, hopefully virtual events too, you’ll be able to share progress, ask for help when you need it and celebrate the writing wins - no matter how small!

Accountability & Progress Tracking

One of the most important elements of writing a novel is accountability. Because there is no need to write a novel for most of us, other parts of life end up getting in the way.

A subscription to Write Your Novel! means you’ll receive regular check-ins to keep you accountable with your writing as well as support as part of a community-based progress tracker.

Feedback Opportunities

One of the most challenging parts of writing is getting feedback. When should you look to get feedback from others? Who should you ask? What does best practice for feedback look like?

We’ll cover feedback in detail and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get feedback from both the Write Your Novel! community and myself. When you’re looking to branch further away

Editing Discount

When you’re ready to get professional editing for your work (though it’s not a necessity for everyone, it’s certainly worth looking at if self-publishing), I’ve teamed up with George’s Editing Journeys for a 20% discount on his editing services.

Publishing Support

Once you’ve finished your novel, the next steps can be complicated. A subscription to Write Your Novel! includes information and support as you take the next steps in your publishing journey.

This is for whatever your plan is: traditionally publishing with an agent, self-publishing or simply having something that you can show off to your friends and family. This Substack comes with the knowledge and support to help you decide your next steps and guide you through the process.
