Me encantó el curso. Las tareas son muy simples y realmente aprendes mucho. Te dejan con muchas ideas y aunque somos bastantes los que tenemos el sueño de ser escritores, nos deja con muchas esperanzas y motivaciones para el futuro. Me encantó que tuvieran la parte con los escritores invitados porque eso nos daba mucho más material.

Great course for beginners to help you understand the basics of writing & stories. Really enjoyed the writer's profiles throughout. The course requirements are definitely manageable for someone with a full time schedule that wants to do this as a side. Helped me getting me start at writing where I felt I didn't know where to start.

I gained a lot by taking this course. I got to learn from "hands on" real people, it was at my own pace yet, they didn't allow me to slack or lose steam. I got educated and inspired by starters like me and I was provided with relevant tools to jumpstart my own dreams. Thank you very much for the work you do. Bola Oluwole-Rotimi

I just want to be grateful to the professors and lecturers in this class. Thank you dearly for giving this space to learn especially for those who do not have means to pay for courses like this and what privilege I have of knowing authors like all of you who gives generously! More power and may you all be blessed always!

Lessons were accurate for Real-life writers and budding authors. Weather you are self publishing OR want to go the traditional route (perhaps a mix of both) This course will help you find your writing voice and gain confidence in your work. I have already recommended this course to several family members and friends.

It gives helpful and easy to understand information about writing children's books. It also includes helpful documents to edit and proofread your writing, how to get published, writing query letters and advice from current authors about all of the above. You are able to write short pieces of work and have them reviewed.

This course has helped me improve in many objects I have been questioning about, such as where to send my novels, how to proof read them, the type of point of view that I should use, etc. very useful for beggining writers. Thank you to the instructors and interviewed guests for taking the time to help us out.

I would recommend this course to anyone who is serious about being a writer regardless of where you are in your learning. This course is informative and encouraging and will provide you with methods that other authors have used to become and remain successful doing something that we all love to do....Write!!!

This is a fantastic course, it covers a lot of ground, it takes you through the entire process from generating story ideas to submitting your work to publishers. I gained a lot from doing it. The peer feedback system is effective and useful. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take this course!

Such an excellent course for aspiring writers. It has definitely proved extremely helpful and it's incredibly reassuring to get to learn knowledge and insights from writers themselves who are incredibly experienced in their craft, skills you wouldn't be able to learn anywhere else readily. Thank you!

Excellent course with both theory and practice integrated to give you a holistic view of the subject. Very well prepared teachers and interesting authors interviewed. Lastly I really enjoyed the personal projects as it permitted me to develop my creative writing skills. Very well done and thank you!

I LOVED these instructors! I wish I could take an entire year of classes with them. I felt like they really want the students to succeed. Great course for learning the basics of writing for young readers. They gave us plenty to think about and whetted my desire to write even more! Thanks so much!

Me encantó el curso, porque pude aprender mucho de un tema que me interesa mucho, en tan solo cuatro semanas. Siento no haber pagado el curso para obtener el certificado. ¿Todavía podría hacerlo?. De ser así, me gustaría intentarlo.

Felicidades por tan buen curso y Gracias por la oportunidad.

The experience was beyond all my expectations. It was wonderful in all aspects. The pace was great, the teachers are very experiences, the guests speakers were inspiring and the course content is absolutely rich and worthy of the course. Thanks for this great experience.
