5 out of 5 starsI finished a first draft for the first time ever! The text messages were encouraging, and I loved tuning into some of the zoom check-ins and being with a group of people who were all tackling the same goal.

5 out of 5 starsThe most productive program I've ever been involved with! I may not have stayed on schedule, but I stayed on track with the guidance of this program, particularly Team Planner Coach Kat, and published my first novel!

5 out of 5 starsAn amazing experience! I never thought I could write like that, but the coaches have helped me to see I can do much more than I thought possible, and I plan to write a new book every Novel 90!

5 out of 5 starsI've had a novel idea forever and Novel 90 not only gave me a goal to finish it, but support with sprints, critiques, classes on craft and tools to make the end result better. Thank you, AutoCrit!
Karina Gioertz
5 out of 5 starsNovel 90 gave me the perfect opportunity to give up excuses and get busy writing! I love the group sprint calls and the check-ins from the coaches. Writing can be a lonely experience sometimes and having access to this community and the coaches changes that!
Mark Gallant
5 out of 5 starsWithout the Novel 90 challenge, I never would have been able to stand where I am now, which is with a completed and edited novel. It forced me to set aside specific times for writing. Without the time goals, I never would have become organized enough to finish.

5 out of 5 starsIn January 2025, I was an aspiring author. By the end of that year I was able to write “the end” for two stories – both over 50,000 words.
