Novel in 90
Family. Writing. Career.
You CAN Have it All
Guiding novice writers to complete the first draft of their novel in 90 days…without sacrificing family time.
You’ve always wanted to write a novel
Maybe you have always been a story teller and this is the next step. Or, perhaps someone in your past said you weren’t a writer and you want to prove them wrong. For some, writing a novel is a big item on their bucket list.
All are valid reasons to write a novel. It sounds simple, just sit at the computer and write. But the time you think you’re going to have to write that book is constantly being eroded by other responsibilities. The kids need a ride to practice. Your boss needs you to work extra hours. The house needs to be cleaned. Where will you ever find the time to write?
Let me tell you a little secret.
Writing a novel doesn’t require huge amounts of uninterrupted dedicated time to write. In fact, with the right techniques, you can write your novel in five minute sprints and finish faster than you ever imagined — leaving your precious time for what’s really important.
Introducing…
A self paced writing course, designed to walk you step-by-step through the process of writing and publishing your novel.

What others are saying…
“Novel in 90 has been an awesome experience! I have wanted to work on writing a novel for so long, but had no idea how to move forward. There is lots of information in this course and it’s easy to follow. Robin has been great about offering support and answering any questions I had along the way and it’s fun to work through this process while seeing others do the same! Absolutely worth every penny!”

“I started the program novel in 90 for the push I needed to finally be able to put the novel in my head into a book. The course has been very straight forward in the steps and the process that needs to be followed to be able to make the writing of the whole novel doable in 90 days. The best part of this process so far has been the fact that I can do small increments of the work required throughout the week with the 5 minute segments recommended in the course.
The most helpful part of the process was the weekly check in to make sure that we are staying on top of everything and being able to ask questions directly with the course creator. This helps to bounce ideas off of each other in the course as well as someone who has actually done the process and related multiple books with their process.
Overall the course is a wonderful way to start the daunting task of creating your own novel, and I am very happy with the result thus far.”

F.A.Q.s
How much time each day do I need to devote to the course?
I estimate that most people will need to average about one hour per day to complete their novel within the 90 day time period. The unique point of Novel in 90 is that hour doesn’t need to be in a single sitting. Every lesson of the course is approximately 5 minutes in length making it relatively easy to progress through the course. Likewise, the homework can be easily completed through several short sessions, and even when we get to writing the actual story we will focus on short sprints.
Who is Novel in 90 really for?
Novel in 90 was designed for the busy person who wants to write their first novel but is unsure of where to start or how to fit writing into their already crowded schedule.
I have a great idea for a book, but I don’t have the time to write it. How about I send you the idea, you write the book and we’ll split the proceeds?
Nope. Novel in 90 is there to help you through the process of writing your own novel utilizing time that is often overlooked. Once you understand how easy it is to come up with ideas for a book, you’ll understand why I have too many ideas to write them all.
What if I sign up and discover this isn’t for me?
Novel in 90 comes with a 14 day FULL refund policy.
What is your idea of Co-Working?
Accountability, inspiration and direction. I am a writer, so I am constantly going through these same steps every day. At my current rate, I write between 4 and 6 novels each year. Through the input of past students I decided it would be helpful (and inspirational) for you to have the opportunity to look over my shoulder as I go through the process. This is why I have a big launch 4 times per year. During the 3 months between launches, I am going through the course as well. For the twice weekly co-working sessions, we all log on to a Zoom call, put our goal for the hour into the chat and we work on that goal. At the end, we all comment on how we did.
Does your idea of writing utilize AI?
No, we won’t use AI in this course. I know several people are claiming you can have AI write your novel for you, but in my experience, it is usually evident when something I’m reading was done by AI.
I’m interested, but I’m not sure the timing is right. What should I do?
In my experience, there is no such thing as the perfect time for things. Everything is a compromise, so we need to find the best fit for ourselves. The beautiful thing about Novel in 90 is you get lifetime access to the course. So even if you can’t find more than 10 minutes a day to work on your writing, following the program will help you complete it in the fastest way.
Is it possible to get the slide decks for each of the lessons?
The slide decks are included in the resources for each module for you to download.
Who shouldn’t sign up for this course?
If you are someone who only wants to have your name on a book but doesn’t want to put in the time to actually write it, Novel in 90 is probably not going to be a good fit for you.
I’ve already written a novel (or more than 1), will this course be useful for me?
The course was designed to help new writers reach the goal of having a completed novel. However, depending on your skill level, how you approached your writing and your organizational level, you may find the techniques in Novel in 90 beneficial as you are writing your next novel.
It’s time to stop procrastinating about writing the novel of your dreams. Sign up for Novel in 90 now and write your story without sacrificing your family time.
Robin Christine DeMarco is a retired physics teacher turned novelist.
Working in the school district for nearly 20 years, her most intricate writing was creating test questions or lab reports. She had never been considered a creative writer.
A thirst for knowledge combined with a love of reading led her to try writing a novel. Working a full time job, raising a family and taking care of the chores at home left her with little time to write. After several failed attempts, she approached the problem scientifically and developed a system that worked.
She has now written and published more than 30 books.
