Excellent course. Good pace, useful info and Harlan Coben speaks in an engaging and inspiring manner. It's up there with Ken Follett's course.

I love hearing about a writer's process and journey but Harlan Coben took it further. The segments with his editor and agent were valuable learning tools. I plan to review the segments and course materials again for inspiration and practical advice. We'll done Harlan Coben and BBC Maestro! Thanks for the course. Much appreciated.

I really enjoy his way of teaching. It‘s quite different to other authors‘ point of view, but it‘s really helpful to me.

Course is really clear. Concepts and philosophies are articulated in a really clear way. I learned two really useful things from this course that will really impact on my writing (considering how to layer multiple revelations within the ending; and constant cyclical revision going back in loops within the revision process) and some that may in the future (e.g. merging multiple story ideas into a single story). Many other aspects of what was taught fitted well with my own approach so I guess I was attracted to a teacher who matched my own mindset about writing. I'm not a thriller writer or a big thriller reader, but the mindset was enormously useful to get into, because it lays fundamental things bare that are often hidden in other kinds of books, so its been very useful to my writing to reflect on the approach. The course is consistently positive without being unrealistic.

I like the lessons about how to create ideas of writing. Very much! Very concrete tips. The rest of the course is excellent. I am not a fan of Coben´s books, but admire his ability to create twists, questions, unexpected events. Great experience.
