“I couldn't finish it. The bulk of what I saw was describing the plots of his books, quoting other people, stating the obvious and telling stories about his life. Watching this made me think of a student trying to pad their 500 word answer out to 1,500. I could easily see him having forgotten about the course until the last minute and hastily making things up en route to the studio.”

“One of the things that I thoroughly enjoyed when watching this course was Harlan Coben's ability to engage. This is not some dry, tiresome presentation that puts you to sleep. Not in the slightest. He knows his craft and can speak about it in a way that draws you in - the hallmark of a great storyteller. I gained so much valuable information which I will be able to translate into my writing. If you're on the fence, jump. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this course.”

“Mr Coben obviously knows his craft:-) I do not believe that I would write my first book solely based on what I have learnt during his course, but I definitely learnt a few new tips and tricks. The course is led in a very engaging manner and meeting the author's publisher is a bonus.”

“Love Harlan Coben's works. Advise from the course is on point and not the generally proffered advice. He provides new perspectives on writing/writers”
