“Incredible intensive with Ken. It doesn't matter what genre you are writing, Ken's Maestro Class is exceptional in learning more about the craft of writing fiction. In particular, his wisdom and expertise, shared with such generosity of spirit, in writing about character/s. Ken has such a warm and witty manner in his delivery and such a gentlemanly approach to sharing his writing process. I highly recommend this course, if you are serious about writing quality fiction.”

“The course "Writing Bestselling Fiction" was fantastic.
It was well structured, each topic was dealt with in depth, and Ken Follett’s eloquence and dry humour make it a pure joy to listen and learn.
During this course I was given key insights into his personal writing process and attitude as a writer. What I think makes this course stand out from others is the fact that Ken Follett uses innumerable examples from world literature to help students understand complex concepts and what to aim for. Quite a few of the books he mentions have already been added to my read-ing list for 2025. The course also made me more aware of what to focus on when reading, so that as a consequence I can improve my writing skills while indulging in my passion for stories.
I also enjoyed the appearance of his special guests who shared information on fact checking, the publishing process and marketing in 2025. The course was perfectly rounded off with a Question and Answer Session.
One could tell that Ken Follett put a lot of thought and effort into this course.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to learn from the best!”

“I enjoyed this course. Ken Follett's love of reading and writing came across. He was animated and amusing. He showed us how he worked using three screens, he chatted with his granddaughter (also a writer) and he gave helpful practical advice.
This is the fourth BBC Maestro course I have watched and I would rate it in the top two for watchability and helpfulness. I would recommend this course.”

“While writing with Ken Follett was certainly a positive, enjoyable and comfortable experience, I would also like to highly commend the other writing courses on BBC Maestro, which offer overlapping advice in different styles. Alan Moore is a very different person and also very entertaining.
I would be happy to recommend other, completely different courses too, BBC.”
