Writing Thrillers with Harlan Coben Reviews

4.9 Rating 200 Reviews
There is a lot of practical advice that is very usable. Some courses focus more on the speaker telling you how great they are - With this, he simply wants you to succeed; if, you are willing to put in the hard work. There is no syrup and sugar, no fluff. Well worth the time, no matter your expereince in writing.

I have absolutely loved this course. He is an amazing writer and his capacity to inspire simple people, but with huge dreams like me, is beyond the ordinary of taking a writing class. I started 2 days ago to listening his maestro class while working (I work as the cleaning person of an old hotel) and this has motivated me so much to keep on writing and explore all those elements behind the regular scenes in wich I participate every day. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge and thank you for keeping art alive.

As a devourer of mystery thrillers, a Harlan Coben fan (book and TV) and someone who 'always wanted to write a book', when the BBC Maestro 'Writing Thrillers' course with HC crossed my path I knew I had to do it....and it was terrific. I loved Harlan's no-nonsense approach, and what I learned was gold. So I've now completed the 23 lessons and will be repeating it next week as I only discovered the 72 page pdf workbook at Lesson 20....Doh! One thing I took away was that I have too much (stuff) going on in my life, so as from tomorrow I'm 'decluttering' to dedicate time to write. Thanks @Harlancobenbbcmaestro for your generous sharing of knowledge, experience and wisdom. I hope to invite you to my premier some day in Australia lol.

I recently completed Harlan Coben’s BBC Maestro course, and I absolutely loved it. His engaging teaching style, combined with his practical advice on storytelling, character development, villains, and suspense was very helpful. Harlan shares real insights into his creative process in this course and breaks down complex ideas into clear, actionable steps. I came away with a renewed sense of confidence and excitement for my own writing project. Highly recommended. Thank you!
