“Harlan Coben is an enthusiastic and engaging teacher. Though the lessons are bite-sized, he has lots of wisdom to share. I've done a fair few online writing courses, but I've never written as much as I have following along with this one!”

“'Writing Thrillers' was my first BBC Maestro course and I was very impressed. Harlan Coben was informative and knew how to explain his points well. A couple parts that were most useful to me included meeting his Editor and his Agent. Until then, I had no idea what happened with a completed manuscript, and hearing the process beyond the writing journey inspired me to complete my own work-in-progress. Writing had originally been a hobby, but now I'd like to take it more seriously and evolve that into a career! Exciting!”

“As an aspiring author and fan of Harlan Coben, I thought it would a lot of fun to take his course. It was a fun course but also the perfect course for someone like me. Harlan knows exactly who he is as writer and doesn't deviate from the authenticity he's built his career on. Such authenticity drives the course in way that shows the student the do's/dont's of the buiness and also encourages the writer's individual voice!
I appreciate the direct way the material was presented, after all, the work must be put in! And yet, there wasn't a moment where I didn't feel like HC really does want to see my name on a book one day!
To me, there hasn't been anything better than learning what a writer's life is like from someone who is as in love with the craft now as when he started AND wants you to succeed in the same manner of love/enjoyment of the process.”

“Fabulous! I've taken a number of writing courses over the years and this has been my favorite. Mr. Coben really know how to inspire along with unique ways to think about storytelling. I watched the entire set of lessons straight through and now I'm rewatching and working on his tasks. I will definitely put him in the Acknowledgement section of my published thriller.”

“I'm a big fan of Harlan Coben and have read all his books. Maybe that helps, but it feels like this is the first writing course where BBC Maestro have got both the talent and an engaging speaker. His enthusiasm for the job comes across and is infectious. He's reminded me of what it is to be a writer. He's reminded me how to use my creativity, which, shamefully, I haven't been doing properly for years and I don't know why. I'm whizzing through the course and learning from a legend. I will watch it over and over again, whenever I need an infusion of encouragement. I feel like it's just me and him, in a room, and he's guiding me personally. This isn't a series of lectures. It's a fantastic insight and a conversation with a man who's trying to bring out the best in me. Fantastic course!”
