Are you ready to write a novel?
The Company’s Novel Challenge
Think you can write a novel in 90 days? We think you can!
Our next novel challenge begins May 25, 2026. Join hundreds of other writers and complete a great manuscript.
The Company’s Novel Challenge is different. We don’t just want you to complete any novel, we want to help you write a GREAT novel.
For 90 days, Brad Pauquette and the team from The Company will guide you through the novel writing process.
…and it’s totally free.
I finished my very first novel last week! This has been a lifelong dream and I can’t thank you enough for the resources you provided that helped me reach this goal.
– Christi Parker
Finally, you’ll have the support you’ve been craving. Each day for 90 days, The Company’s team will provide practical how-to, encouragement, and a little bit of wisdom to stay motivated and on target. There’s no cost for any of this content. Plus, you’ll be part of a community of writers tracking hard after the same goal.
Using our plan, with just one hour per day you will complete a novel draft in just three months!
Our novel challenge is completely free. There are options for additional paid support below, but just by signing up you’ll receive all of the weekly content to stay on track.
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you, and to share that I completed my manuscript with 60,000 words written. I’m really proud of what I finished.
I also noticed my writing speed increased to around 2,300 words per hour, which is a skill I’m excited to carry into future projects.
Thanks again for the structure, accountability, and encouragement throughout the challenge.
– Jeremy Lahey
It Gets Better! Join a Small Group!
Anyone is welcome to take advantage of the completely free challenge platform. If you love Jesus and you’re ready to get serious about writing your novel, you’re invited to join a Novel Cohort.
These Cohorts will meet via Zoom once per week. Each Cohort is led by a knowledgeable member of The Company’s team. You’ll receive one-on-one support and the group will help you meet your goals.
As a member of a Cohort, each week you’ll meet with the same group of writers at the same time. This group will encourage and motivate each other to stay on target and finish those projects! In our experience, this kind of accountability is often the difference-maker for aspiring novelists. Cohort meetings will last 30-60 minutes, and there will be several throughout the week to choose from, including daytime, evening, and weekend options.
Register for a Cohort
This form is not a commitment. After we receive your information, we’ll reach out to schedule you for a Cohort. You can ask questions and back out at any time. Make sure to check your email (including your “spam” folder) for replies from The Company.
