“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!”

“Harlan has a genius way of teaching and encouraging students. His lessons are clear and concise, devoid of pomp or frivolous fillers. He gives you the facts, never veers off topic, encourages you to start and continue writing, provides valuable insight on finding an editor and agent, and has a pleasant voice to listen to. I intend to watch his course again.”

“I signed up for BBC Maestro because I really like Harlan Coben's books. His Tutorial „Writing Thrillers with Harlan Coben“ helped me to rely on my intuition as a writer. I'm the daughter of an engineer and I tend to pay a lot of attention to the construction of a story, some times to much. This can make it seem too contrived. Questions like "What if?" help me to trigger my imagination.”

“I enjoyed his warmth and passion and I particularly loved that he encourages us to break the rules as we write from our hearts. I liked that he gave examples from his own books to highlight particular approaches / techniques that he recommends. I love his holistic approach to story telling and how he is not afraid to talk about his own experiences that became ideas / lines / themes, "fiction is memoir" ... it's a welcome change to hear someone acknowledge that.”
