What we’re about
If you want to learn how to write a novel that works, I will teach you for free.
I'm Maureen Wiley, a professor of English literature and an Author Accelerator certified book coach.
This spring, I'm hosting a FREE 90-day novel incubator.
Through weekly guided writing sprints, live group coaching, and practical tips you can immediately apply to your story, you’ll gain clarity on your novel’s foundation—genre, structure, and story blueprint—so you can move forward with confidence.
Whether you’ve been dreaming of writing a book for years or you’re just now feeling the pull to create, this is your chance to kickstart your novel in a structured, inspiring, and fun environment.
✨ Join our writing community and get started on that novel you've always dreamt of writing ✨
Also, invite your friends!
Anyone who wants to write a novel is welcome to join.

Big announcement: I created a separate Substack account for our Spring Novel Incubator. All replays will live there moving forward, including the replay from yesterday!
This week in the novel incubator, we're talking Jungian archetypes!
As we continue to develop the characters at the heart of our novels, this week we are going to look at some of the other characters who are on their own journeys. Plus, we will have dedicated coaching time! ✨
Even if you haven't joined us before, and even if you haven't written a word of your novel, you will be glad you joined us.
Bring your novel writing questions, and I will answer as many as possible.
If you want to have the kind of story breakthroughs that our community of novelists are having each week, sign up here to save your spot at the group coaching call on Sunday.
Make sure to subscribe to join our chat and get written coaching on your novel. You can post anytime and I will write back with my thoughts and coaching questions to move you forward.
See you on Sunday!
xoxo,
Maureen
