Don't Miss Narratively Academy's Top Stories of 2025
From how to land a book deal to how to blend art into your writing practice, here's a look at the 10 stories that got writers in our community most excited this year.
Yes, it’s another best-of-the-year post :) We couldn’t let 2025 close without one. It’s been a whirlwind six months since launching NarrativelyAcademy.com back in June. Our team and I have truly enjoyed working with so many of you in our classes, seeing you join our live videos, and more. We launched this new site because we wanted to create a resource to help writers day in and day out—with our writing classes—but also via our “Open Book” live video series (now a podcast too!), as well as the tips and how-tos in our StoryCraft section. Here’s a look at the 10 stories that you read, watched and shared the most this year.
Have a request for what kind of guide we should share or which writers and editors we should interview in the new year? Shout out in the comments.
