Very comprehensive. Important information. Could be more fun but still enjoyed it.

By Mandu Inyang on 10/21/2020

Really great writing prompts.

By Sultana Ismet Jerin on 10/13/2020

It is a very thorough course. If you do your homework as you go with the lessons, by the time you finish this course you would become a writer. But if you don't do your homework, then you won't become a writer but only know about different parts of writing without any practical use of them. The instructor did a great job. we will have to do our part.

By P. Amrith Prahalad on 10/12/2020

This course was very, very, very useful. The delivery is engaging and the points are short and clear. I recommend writers to take this course.
