Writing Thrillers with Harlan Coben Reviews

Harlan is a pre-eminent writer of thrillers and is able to break them down into the integral (and bleeding over) parts. He's clear, concise, and provides numerous examples, mostly from his own novels, which is extremely helpful. He's also self-depracting, honest, and open about himself, his life, and his work, and shows how they interrelate. As another Jersey Boy, I'm incredibly impressed and grateful!

Excellent course. Cuts straight to the point and explains why a lot of "rules" about writing are not true. It gives you loads of practical writing tools. "Tools not rules!"

I really enjoyed this course - learned so many things! Above all, the energy, empaphy (he is an excellent educator) of Harlan Coben are jsut terrific. 12 out of 10 raelly. Am going through Lee Child's course right now and it is at the same level. Love it 120%. More generally, I find your site "BBC Maestro" absolutely excellent. I will retiring soon and have always wanted to write a thriller. I have subscribed to the US Masterclass site, the French Masterclass site and the BBC Maestro. I find both the BBC Maestro and the US Masterclass sites excellent. Also, your subscription model implies that you get regular fresh content, which am excited about. The other topics - photography, cooking, baking - are also great to have. Am learning how to make bread now, thanks to you. I might even regsite for a face-to-face course in Bath. The only - minor - issue I have is that I registered - at a reduced rate already - Only to find out that a new promotion had been launched a few days laters. No bid deal. In short, I love your site, I loved this specific course by Harlan Coben. When I complete my first novel, I will make sure I send him a copy (as requested). I can't wait to see what new additions you will offer in 2024-2025 and beyond. Thanks!

A clear presentation of how he goes about writing a novel. Very interesting, the examples from his own work make things clear.

Harlan is exceptional in his ability to explain his thoughts & his writing process. I learned so much from him. I need to now implement his knowledge & teachings by pretending that, when I’m writing, he is sitting on my shoulder.

Coben has moved my pencil to the paper in a style I hadn't expected. A big thanks to him!
