I was offered the opportunity to participate in this master class for the purpose of reviewing it and offering my honest opinion. I haven not been otherwise compensated.
Do you want to be a writer? Have you always felt that push in your soul that made you feel like you should write a book? Have friends and family been urging you to start writing?
Then…why haven’t you?
I know why. Because you don’t know where to start. I didn’t either, but the best advice I got was…just start.

This course has been an incredible learning tool for me. I found the presenters engaging and easy to understand, and the information has stuck with me and is helpful on an ongoing basis. I learned about moving story forward with powerful elements like dialogue, about conflict and change, letting your writing speak for itself, and the value of the word “said.” And so many more useful elements. Each video was quite captivating and casual, yet super informative. They ranged in length from about 8-12 minutes per video, and again, you can advance this at your own pace, in your own time, and refer back again and again as needed.
If you’ve ever want to attend a writers conference but finances or time kept you from it, this is a truly great way to glean very valuable information from the comfort of your desk or couch without the requirement of travel or lodging. Take a look at these behind-the-scenes videos.
You don’t have to take my word for it either (though my word is pretty good). Check out these other reviews of the course:

Thus course is excellent! The short recorded sessions with Edward, Rick, Colleen, Jim, and Amy, were full of helpful information for writers in any genre. The workbook download helped me with note taking and reinforced the learning. I also am grateful that I can retake the course whenever I need a refresher. It is definitely worth $24.99.
