How would you rate the course based on skills & knowledge learnt?
“I found it useful in being 'good to think with' as I plan a work that is non-fiction and will likely be unpopular. The course has sign-posted areas where danger exists of slipping into what Kurt Vonnegut called the 'man in a hole' structure which works against achieving realism.
Otherwise, I find that if hoping to write a series, the course would be useful but lacks a few essentials for anyone wishing to start a writing business such as how to convince a publisher your book is better than the other ten thousand submitted last week, and as one does planning a business, how to conduct market research.”

“This was a fantastic course. Mr. Child removed some of the myths around plotting, character building etc. Even though this was focused on popular fiction I found it equally valid and useful for literary fiction.”

“Not only did I gain a plethora of useful ideas and knowledge, but I also strengthened my existing knowledge. This course reassured me about things I thought I did wrong and things I doubted. I feel like taking my book from the very start and changing it for the better.”

“Listening to Lee Child is a revelation and inspirational.
Seeing how he breaks down the writing process with great examples from his own work certainly makes me want to get words on paper.”

How would you rate the course based on skills & knowledge learnt?
“I appreciated that Mr. Child provided illustrative points rather than listing cut-and-dried opinions. His delivery was well-spoken and timely. I plan on watching the course again to make sure I have a firm understanding of everything he said. I highly recommend beginning writers view this course. It is inspiring, engaging, and more about writing as you rather than putting up a front of what you think would sell. Very "You do you Boo" instruction. I liked that approach most of all.”
