Testimonials

What our members are saying

“I joined Novelists, Inc. in its infancy in the early 90s. NINC is, by far, the single most valuable writers organization out there. I became so involved and committed that I served a year as president and have been a continuous member for over 25 years. Join us! You won’t be sorry.”

—Steven Womack, Edgar and Shamus Award-winning author

“NINC is the best and most supportive group for serious fiction writers that I’ve ever found. It’s informative, fun, and filled with great, helpful people!”

— Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling romance author

“In all of my years in the industry, I’ve never known an organization that is both as professional and supportive as NINC. It’s filled with people who care deeply about writers and can tap into the resources to improve writers’ lives. I belong to exactly one writers organization, because NINC is the only one I need or want.”

—Lou Aronica, bestselling writer & co-founder of The Fiction Studio and The Story Plant

“Joining NINC has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my writing career. The organization (and the people within it) provide a huge wealth of support, experience, and advice that you can’t find anywhere else.”

— novelist Carrie Elks

“Almost every author writes alone, the voices in their head the only conversations they’ll have for hours. Sometimes you need to get out of your headspace, speak to your tribe, and NINC has been invaluable for that, with a community that motivates and inspires, every single day.”

—Tony Lee, bestselling author of novels, comics, & scripts

“You can’t beat NINC and its members for excellent information about the craft of writing and the business of publishing.”

—Donna Andrews, Anthony and Agatha award-winning mystery novelist
