No matter your writing style we have a team for you! When you join a team, you're joining a creative community led by a bestselling author who writes and publishes using a similar style. Your Coach will share tips and tricks that they've learned along the way through regular check-in events and messages.
We'll coach you through the 90 days with live events, writing sprints, and daily motivational emails to help you keep up the pace all the way to the finish line. We want to share information, not gatekeep it. Our coaches are accessible to our participants and eager to answer questions and offer tips so you can make it to the finish line!
Everyone who registers is automatically eligible to win prizes in our closing prize draw.
We'll also have some great surprises for anyone who finishes their book, including a chance to be featured in our newsletter which goes out to thousands of authors!
The Finisher's Circle, Grand Prize Shortlist, and Grand Prize Awards will be revealed within 30 days of challenge completion.
No, and no. The Novel 90 Summer Writing Challenge is open to everyone. There is no fee to join, and you don’t need to be an active AutoCrit member.
Not necessarily. You are welcome to join the challenge as motivation to get your work done and keep your entire artistic process private. On the other hand, you can share materials along the way for feedback. You can also choose to participate for our grand prize, which would involve submitting your work. Our favorites will be highlighted in our newsletter in 2025 and receive additional surprises.
Absolutely not. All our challenges are built to engage and inspire our community – that’s it. We make absolutely no claim to anything you create during the challenge.
No. All genres are welcome.
Everything you need for Novel90 is in our Basecamp! Find downloadable resources, webinar links, the Novel90 guide, and a place to collaborate with your coach and teammates, all in one convenient location.
Absolutely! Throughout the challenge, you’ll receive specific tips for writing a 50,000+ word novel and our coaching is structured towards completion of a novel. However, we fully support participants who wish to dedicate their time to a shorter-length work.
Good question! Our Team Coaches aren’t just great teachers – they’re active, bestselling authors in their own right, and work with writers across multiple genres.
From traditional publishing to indie and small press, plus ghostwriting and beyond, they’ve done it all. With support from those who truly understand the writing journey, you’re in great hands!
