    Thoughtful Course to Motivate New Writers

    5.0

    I really enjoyed this course. It was thoughtfully put together from the order of the content and to the engaging exercises to get the creative juices flowing. I would skim this course again when I have writer’s block or question my direction. Thanks for making a course that’s easy to follow and encouraging. I would recommend this to anyone who is thinking about writing but not sure where or how to begin. Or anyone who started the process and took a hiatus; great way to nudge yourself back into a writing practice.

    Great Course to Get Your Writing Started

    5.0

    The course was laid out really well. I liked the way she not only told how to write the different parts of a book, but gave us prompts and pictures to practice what we learned from her. The handbook was really great too with loads more information.
