Course Testimonials

Navigating the Choppy Waters of Publishing is the key to understanding the current state of publishing, which is very different today than it was even five years ago. It demystifies the heavily gated world of traditional publishing and presents the best options for writers going forward.

Story ideas started to pour out of me like a fountain.

The Art of Storytelling is not an English class, but an art class. I stopped seeing parts of speech as just ingredients for writing, and instead started seeing them as the artistic tools they really are. What color theory and brush strokes are for painters, points of view and punctuation are for writers. Adjectives and verbs? These are a writer’s acrylics and oils. They aren’t just things to notice in the finished piece, they are the piece!

Each class left me feeling like I had just discovered a new way to write a character, scene, or piece of dialogue, and I couldn’t wait to give the exercises a try. I highly recommend this course to anyone who not only wants to brush up on their writing skills, but who wants to rekindle their relationship with the true art and craft of writing.
