Novel Writing Courses and "Novel Writing on Edge" Work and Study Forums
From Concept to Career Launch
Welcome to Algonkian Author Connect. Our Novel Writing and Editorial Program's course methodology, professional editorial consults, and "sell sheet" marketing approach—when coupled with supplemental AAC and "Novel Writing on Edge" guidance—creates for aspiring authors the perfect central location for the conception, writing, and production of competitive genre novels (as well as plot-focused literary novels).
You might well ask, for starters, what is the best way to utilize the forums below as efficiently as possible. If you are new to AAC, the single best approach is to begin with the forum, "Novel Writing on Edge." Read the introduction and the topics arrayed in the forum, and once done, proceed to the more inclusive NWOE novel writing and development guide partitioned into three major sections, all of them crucial, and linked to the Algonkian NWOE main website.
However, if you are currently here because you are working through an Algonkian Writer Conferences program such as the Write to Pitch 2025, the best course of action might be to acquire a copy of the kindle eBook on the left.
On a parallel track we would be remiss not to remind you to also examine and reflect upon the AAC content in the primary forum sections. All contain valuable and often fascinating insights and advice regarding the world of books, novel pitching, and even reviews of novel writing videos.

The Short and Long of It
Our veteran of ten thousand submissions, Walter Cummins, pens various essays and observations regarding the art of short fiction writing, as well as long fiction. Writer? Author? Editor? Walt has done it all. And worthy of note, he was the second person to ever place a literary journal on the Internet, and that was back in early 1996. We LOVE this guy!
