Susan Bancroft

Thumbs up.
Amazing course. Worth every single penny.

Toni

I have already passed the write fiction books course and found it brilliant! It helped so much in the planning , preparation and initial chapters of my novel. As my genre is romance fiction I saw this course and decided to study this also. I have just passed module 1 and have to say it seems every bit as good as the last. My novel is well under way now and I am confident that the knowledge I will gain from this will help me in its completion. The courses are easy to read and understand and contain lots of valuable ideas and information. Very impressed!

Ceri Hart

I had previously passed the Write Fiction course and thought I would take the Romance Writing one as an addition. It is very comprehensive, with tips, exercises and plenty of advice. I was so pleased to read the ‘Show Don’t Tell Section’ as I believe this is one aspect that I sometimes struggle with. The other section I thought was helpful was how to present dialogue correctly. There were plenty of examples to illustrate the point and this helped immensely. I am now on Module 7, having passed most modules with 100% and I am thoroughly enjoying the course. I just wish there was a book to accompany it (as with the Write Fiction course) as it would save me having to make notes. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend and would like to thank you on producing such an informative course.

Good but would have been better with audio available
