How it works
Storytelling software, live classes from certified editors and the kindest community in genre fiction, working together so you finish your novel.
Fictionary has worked with thousands of writers in every genre. These are the frustrations they name most often, and what the membership is built to solve.
Without an efficient method and real accountability, life keeps getting in the way. Most manuscripts are abandoned for lack of structure and support, not talent.
Without story structure at the level of the scene, the middle becomes a fog you can’t write through.
Where do you start, what do you fix, how do you know it’s done? Without a structural framework, revision is guesswork.
Genre readers have strong expectations. Without your genre’s conventions at a structural level, a novel won’t satisfy, however well it’s written.
Friends are kind but vague, beta readers find typos, writing groups disagree. You need structured, expert feedback grounded in craft.
The voice that says you’re not a real writer. Every serious writer knows it, and the right community can turn it down.
The software
Outline, write and edit your novel in one place, with the story structure for your genre built in. StoryTeller Premium is included with every membership.
StoryTeller provides the structure and Edwina analyzes the scenes, but they don’t do the writing. Every word of your novel belongs to you.
The classes
Weekly, one-hour, interactive classes taught by Fictionary certified editors. Your actual manuscript and your actual questions, answered by instructors who know your genre.
Every instructor is trained in structural story editing and in your genre’s conventions, not just writing in general.
Structured lessons are recorded so you never miss core content. The live sessions where members share their work are never recorded, so you can ask anything about your story.
Courses start four times a year and new genre courses are added regularly, so the next one is never far away.

A warm, rigorous community where kindness is a non-negotiable rule, not a platitude. Weekly accountability, lasting connections, and Ask an Editor for expert feedback on your manuscript.
Your story and your progress are treated with respect and care, on your first chapter or your fifth revision.
Ask any question, share any struggle. Nobody is made to feel small.
Warm support with serious craft. Members call it “the most rigorous and most welcoming place I’ve ever written.”
Ask an Editor connects you with Fictionary Certified StoryCoach Editors: structural experts, not just well-read friends.
“I joined Fictionary after years of toxic writing groups and expensive courses that delivered nothing. In my first week, I asked a question I’d been too embarrassed to ask anywhere else, and got a thoughtful, detailed answer from a certified editor within hours. This community is the real thing.”
Every course follows one structured journey, from first concept to finished story.
Romance, Mystery and Fantasy go deep on one genre, in the Write Your Series track.
General AI tools know what most stories do. Edwina knows yours, and works inside a structure built for genre fiction.
Edwina runs securely inside Fictionary. Your work stays yours and is never used to train public models.
