Joe Byrd
I'm now ready to launch my novel. I got it written and edited inside of six months. We will see how it sells!
I loved working with Zee. She was extremely helpful and insightful. She genuinely cared about her editing my manuscript and very encouraging. I think her background in French was extremely vital to her work on this particular manuscript
When it was suggested I write a work of fiction after years of non-fiction, I didn't know where to start. Now Novel came to the rescue. I used the tools to define my characters and posted excerpts for peer review. Since those first tentative steps I have had three novels (the SimCavalier sci fi series) and four short stories published

There are many factors involved in publishing, including marketability and whether you choose indie vs traditional publishing (the path to traditional publishing tends to take longer). When you take this course, you will stand a much better chance of getting published, and if you choose the indie route Now Novel offers editing and other services to help you prepare and ensure the best book launch possible.
» There are many factors to consider, such as how quickly you want to publish, whether you want complete executive control over matters such as pricing or cover design, and more. Once you’ve completed the course you’ll have a much clearer understanding of the benefits of both publishing routes.
» No prior publishing experience is necessary. A computer, tablet or mobile device and access to an internet connection are the only requirements for accessing all aspects of the course (free word processor and spreadsheet software such as Google Docs and Sheets is helpful for creating your book launch plan and tracking its performance, too).
» These are skills that you can learn at any stage of the writing process, but they cater most to those who have completed a book (as you can’t publish before you finish). The sooner you start to build your author platform the larger it will be.
