“I think this course is excellent with so much useful information for the beginner writer, like myself. I like all the courses I have watched and I have watched many. On food, writing, poetry, art and health and many others. I have found Ken Follett's course very useful for my first novel. And I have two more in the pipeline. Thank you very much Ken Follett.”

“Ken goes through the various elements of writing a book. He covers the main bases, but doesn't really get into nitty-gritty of it. I was hoping for much more detail - explanation of his techniques and tools he uses to get to the end, rather than this slightly smug, high-level view. This course feels like something of missed opportunity. But then again, if I were a 200m+ selling author, I might be a little reticent to open the kimono too wide.”

“Terrific stuff from a master! The course is delivered in digestible chunks but every word and observation counts. The course is well structured and so informative.
I have learnt so much as I start my first novel. Thank you Ken and the BBC. Highly recommended.”

“Ken is a disciplined writer and shared some great insights into his own writing and that of other writers he admires. I particularly valued his lesson about the importance of the first line, but his shared process and resources were also very helpful.”
