Ready to Challenge Yourself?

Sunday, June 1st – Sunday, August 31st, 2025

The Summer 2025 Challenge will focus on completing shorter works (under 50,000 words) in preparation for our Fall 2025 Challenge which focuses on novel-length work.

STEP 1
Register

Register for the Challenge and join us on YouTube for weekly live streams throughout the month of June - August.

It's 100% free and you'll even get your own Free Forever AutoCrit account.

STEP 2
Join Your Team

Are you a Planner, Plantser or Pantser?

No matter your writing style, we have a team for you!

When you join a team, you're joining a creative community led by a bestselling author who writes and publishes using a similar style. Your Coach will share tips and tricks that they've learned along the way through regular check-in events and messages.

STEP 3
Learn, Write, Edit, Publish

We'll coach you through the 90 days with live events, writing sprints, and daily motivational emails to help you keep up the pace all the way to the finish line. We want to share information, not gatekeep it. Our coaches are accessible to our participants and eager to answer questions and offer tips so you can make it to the finish line!

STEP 4
Win Prizes

Everyone who registers is automatically eligible to win prizes in our closing prize draw.

We'll also have some great surprises for anyone who finishes their book, including a chance to be featured in our newsletter which goes out to thousands of authors!

The Finisher's Circle, Grand Prize Shortlist, and Grand Prize Awards will be revealed within 30 days of challenge completion.

Choose Your Team and Rally Together

Your challenge, your style.

Whether you're an established author or just starting out, we all need motivation to complete our creative projects. Novel 90 is designed to keep you fired up, focused, and making real progress, all the way to the finish line.

Becoming a part of a team means sharing in successes, and (let's be honest) an extra dose of accountability to help you get the writing done.

It's time to turn those scattered ideas and plot bunnies into a polished story. AutoCrit will be at your side for the entire journey.

Let's make it happen!

Meticulous about structure? Prefer to have all your proverbial ducks in a row before you start putting down prose on the page, with a clear view of the path ahead?

Team Planner is for you!

TEAM COACH: USA Today bestselling author Katherine D. Graham.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that? Hey, variety helps the world go around!

Weekly Live Events & Personal Guidance

You'll have the chance to ask questions, get direct feedback and guidance, and take care of any blocks you might be facing.

Got Questions?

Answers to common questions about the Novel 90 Writing Challenge: Summer Edition.

No, and no. The Novel 90 Summer Writing Challenge is open to everyone. There is no fee to join, and you don’t need to be an active AutoCrit member.

Not necessarily. You are welcome to join the challenge as motivation to get your work done and keep your entire artistic process private. On the other hand, you can share materials along the way for feedback. You can also choose to participate for our grand prize, which would involve submitting your work. Our favorites will be highlighted in our newsletter in 2025 and receive additional surprises.

Absolutely not. All our challenges are built to engage and inspire our community – that’s it. We make absolutely no claim to anything you create during the challenge.

No. All genres are welcome.

Everything you need for Novel90 is in our Basecamp! Find downloadable resources, webinar links, the Novel90 guide, and a place to collaborate with your coach and teammates, all in one convenient location. We have also unlocked the Productivity Tools inside AutoCrit Pro so all participants can track their stats!

Absolutely! Throughout the summer challenge, you’ll receive specific tips for novellas, novelettes, and short story collections. However, we fully support participants who wish to dedicate their time to a full-length novel

Good question! Our Team Coaches aren’t just great teachers – they’re active, bestselling authors in their own right, and work with writers across multiple genres.

From traditional publishing to indie and small press, plus ghostwriting and beyond, they’ve done it all. With support from those who truly understand the writing journey, you’re in great hands!

YouTube Live Streams: Alternating Tuesdays and Saturdays from June - August at 1pm Eastern US.

To make sure you don't miss out on any stream notifications, we recommend you subscribe to the AutoCrit YouTube channel

Recordings will be available on YouTube if you miss a live session.
