Though National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo) might seem impossible at first, with a bit of structure and patience, you too can survive this writing challenge! The key is knowing what to watch for, and finding plenty of support along the way.

Hey there, writer! 👋

I’m Lewis Jorstad, a bestselling author, editor, and book coach who helps up-and-coming writers find clarity and confidence over at The Novel Smithy.

Over the years, I’ve found that one of the hardest parts of the writing process is overwhelm. There are so many moving parts in a good novel, and juggling all of them doesn’t come naturally to many people (understandably so!).

That’s why I help writers equip themselves with the skills and frameworks they need to make sense of the writing craft. Because deep down, we’re all capable of writing amazing novels—we just need the right tools for the job.

Ready to get writing? I’m excited to take this journey with you!
