Ryan, your course was very good. I’m very new to writing, I haven’t even started but I found your sessions inspiring. They were very concise and clear, easy to follow. The only issue I had was that I wasn’t sure where the resources you mention were posted and they sort of balance out what you were presenting. Other than that, I would highly recommend this course. It is a clear guide for beginners. Thanks Ryan. I hope to read your novels.
This was the first course I have taken with Skill Success. It was a great experience and I look forward to taking another one.
Wonderful Course!!!!
Ryan – You were great and I appreciate your knowledge and you sharing that with the rest of us. I learned so MUCH that I didn’t know. You really helped put things in perspective and guide me to where I want to be. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone that is a beginning writer that wants to know where to go next.
