Stop Writing Alone. Start Finishing Your Novel.
The Accountability Track gives you 6 months of 1:1 coaching, group accountability, and expert-led craft workshops — everything you need to move from an idea to a completed draft
More structure than a writing group. More personal than a self-paced course. More affordable than an MFA.
Join the Accountability Track
You've taken the courses.
You've read the craft books.
So why isn't the manuscript done?
Most online writing programs hand you lessons and leave you on your own. You watch the videos, take notes, feel inspired for a week... but then the momentum disappears. The doubt creeps back in. And six months later, you're exactly where you started.
This isn't because you're a bad writer. It's simply because you need more support in staying accountable to your craft. And no amount of lectures will solve that.
- You've started your novel three times but never made it past Act One
- You know your story has potential, but you can't see what's holding it back
- You're writing in isolation — no coach, no deadlines, no one who's read your pages
- You've invested in courses that taught craft but didn't help you apply it to your manuscript
- You want professional-level feedback, not just encouragement from friends
What if your writing program came with a entire team dedicated to seeing you succeed?
The Accountability Track pairs structured craft education with the coaching, community, and deadlines that move manuscripts forward.
Six Months of Real Support
A complete writing support system designed to help you finish your manuscript.
Three 1:1 Coaching Sessions
You have two coaches dedicated to your growth. For each session, pick between a mindset or story coach based on what you're struggling with.
Priority "Hot Seat" Access
First-in-line access during small group coaching. Bring your toughest craft questions or pressure-test your story structure with vetted industry experts.
Group Accountability Calls
Set writing goals. Report back. Adjust. Regular check-ins create an external structure that turns your intention into a draft.
Learn-Together Sessions
Collaborative sessions where you walk through the Academy's courses with a coach and your peers, keeping your learning on track.
Welcome Call + Full Academy Access
A personal welcome call to discuss your goals and build your 6-month plan. Plus full access to every course, workshop recording, and community event.
Priority Retreats and Events
First access to retreats, intensive workshops, and events before they open to general membership.
How the Accountability Track Works
Welcome & Goal Setting
A personal welcome call to map your manuscript goals, identify where you're stuck, and build a realistic 6-month plan that reflects your story, your schedule, and your life for a realistic path forward.
Write with Structure
Access the full course library, attend learn-together sessions and craft workshops, and use the StoryMetrics™ framework to build your story on solid plotting foundations. Set targets that you report back on to your accountability group.
Coach, Check In, Refine
Use your three 1:1 coaching sessions at the moments that matter most — when you need to break through a structural problem, pressure-test a pivotal scene, or recalibrate your mindset or time management. Group coaching keeps you in motion between 1:1 sessions, and you can add more as needed.
Finish Strong
By month six, you'll have a draft ready for beta readers, editors, or querying (and a one-stop shop to find vetted services), and a community of other writers ready to support you.
Your 1:1 Coaching Team
Your welcome call will be with both Anna & Luca, and then you get to decide who each of your coaching sessions are with, getting both the story expertise and the mindset support to finish your manuscript.
Anna Claire Boyd
Mindset Coach & Co-Founder
Anna brings 15+ years in Learning & Development and is a certified mindset and career coach. She works with you on the blocks that keep writers stuck — perfectionism, fear of rejection, procrastination, and imposter syndrome.
Luca Ceccarelli
StoryMetrics™ Coach & Co-Founder
Luca created the StoryMetrics™ framework after an award-winning career in the film industry, then adapted it for novelists. He coaches you on story structure, character arcs, pacing, and the craft-level decisions that create stories that captivate readers.
Plus: Group Coaching with a Growing Roster of Professionals
Beyond your 1:1 sessions, your membership includes regular group coaching with industry experts across the craft and business of writing — literary agents, award-winning authors, professional editors, language specialists, and publishing strategists. The roster is always expanding.
We Built What We Wished Existed
We looked at The Novelry, Jericho Writers, MasterClass, and dozens of other programs. Every one fell short of what we needed. Here's what we mean.
Premium programs like The Novelry
Polished courses, published-author coaches, and a path to traditional publishing. But plans run $599 for a simple outline all the way to $4,995, coaching sessions are limited and tightly scoped, and the model is built for the UK trad-pub track, offering little flexibility.
StoryCraft gives you 1:1 coaching, group coaching, and a full course library for $499 and is flexibly built to meet your goals across all genres and publishing paths.
Accountability-only programs
Writing accountability groups and write-together sessions help you show up but rarely include craft instruction or professional coaching, offering deadlines but no tailored direction.
StoryCraft pairs accountability with craft frameworks and expert coaches who are passionate about your growth.
Self-paced platforms like MasterClass or Skillshare
Inspiring videos from famous authors. No feedback, no coaching, no community, no accountability. You watch, you feel motivated, and then nothing changes.
StoryCraft is built around interaction and face-time with real people who can directly address the issues most pressing for you.
MFA programs
Two years, $20,000–$60,000, workshop-driven, often literary-fiction focused. Valuable for many people, but most working writers need structure and coaching they can fit around a job and a life.
StoryCraft delivers mentorship, craft depth, and a writing community in 6 months, for under $500, on your schedule.
What Members Are Saying
"I got on it last week and I can already say I have had more meaningful interactions with other authors on it than I have in my entire time on Instagram."
— StoryCraft Academy Member
"Found this group on Tuesday and introduced myself, and last night finally started writing again after what seems like forever. I just had to pick up my pen and get past that mental block. And just do it. It felt great."
— StoryCraft Academy Member
"So far I have finished the first draft of my first horror story, expanded lines in a poetic epic I've been working on, and right now I'm about to knock out a few more chapters for a fantasy novel. This has kept me inspired and writing consistently."
— StoryCraft Academy Member
"Packed full of great information, tips, and realistic advice from someone with real experience. We were able to ask questions and provide input as a group, and as a new writer this was invaluable. I'm looking forward to future sessions."

Frequently Asked Questions
The Academy Membership gives you access to courses, community, and live sessions. The Accountability Track includes everything in the Membership plus three 1:1 coaching sessions, priority group coaching access, accountability calls, a personal welcome call with a custom learning/writing plan, and priority event access. It's for writers who need more structure and personal attention to finish their manuscript.
All fiction genres — literary fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, romance, thriller, mystery, historical fiction, horror, and more. During your welcome call, we'll match your project with the right coaching approach. StoryMetrics™ is genre-flexible, it adapts to the structural demands of your story.
Your three 1:1 sessions are yours to schedule across your 6 months. Most writers space them strategically: one early to answer immediate questions, one mid-manuscript when structural questions arise or mindset blocks happen, and one near the finish line to prepare for completion. You book when you're ready.
The Accountability Track meets you where you are. Whether you have 80,000 words of a draft or a napkin full of notes, the coaching and accountability structure are designed to move your specific project forward. Your welcome call maps a plan based on your starting point.
StoryMetrics™ is StoryCraft Academy's proprietary framework for analyzing and strengthening fiction. It gives writers and coaches a shared vocabulary for diagnosing why a story isn't working and specific, craft-grounded strategies for fixing it. It's a diagnostic lens that respects your creative vision while holding it to professional standards.
Most programs are either courses (passive learning, no accountability) or coaching (expensive 1:1 with no community). The Accountability Track combines both — structured craft education, coaching, and a community of writers.
Yes. You can add extra 1:1 sessions anytime, or move to our Personalized Coaching track for a fully custom plan with as many sessions as you need. Many writers start with the Accountability Track and expand once they've built momentum.
Your novel won't write itself.
But you don't have to write it alone.
Coaching. Community. Accountability. Six months to finish what you started.
