Writing Thrillers with Harlan Coben Reviews

4.9 Rating 317 Reviews
I understand that it is not easy to teach a topic like this. You can't write the book for people. But I found it very generalised/broad, akin more to life coaching for writers. That said, so much has to do with innate talent anyway - being able to imagine characters, plot etc.(coupled with application drive etc.), that a course can only go so far in unpacking the skillset.

Even if I am a professional screenwriter and novelist, the advices by Mr. Coben hold an high value specifically for writing thrillers, which is an art per se. Some technical issues I teach about in my writing courses are addressed with interesting tweaks that make the course absolutely worthy of interest.

After the first lesson, I knew that I had more than gotten my money's worth. Not only is the information being presented useful for developing writing skills, Harlan Coben's guidance is friendly and fun to watch.

Bite size chunks of genuine experience with heaps of enthusiasm. Harlan Coben makes it feel possible to actually get my book finished. Really enjoying the process. No better way to start a New Year and get writing with Harlen's help and encouragement.

Harlan says he’s not good at anything else besides writing, this is false. He is a talented presenter and I found his course inspiring

Great course. Lots of info and humour. Has got me back into writing straightaway and will be revisiting many of these sessions.
