I was skeptical about courses like this, but I actually learned a lot of great tips and techniques for setting schedules and where to go to get editing and artwork done. This was definitely worth the time and fee to participate in!

a good attempt but very basic. too much time was spent referencing books to read and summarising them. not much theory to help develop as a writer and no resources. Information was a little too basic and speed had to be increased as normal tempo was very slow. The small number of resources available were not accessible, from no longer being available or requiring other programmes to be downloaded. Some of the publishing information was interesting and may be helpful to others.

This was a great class! Riley Wiley designed this course with all aspects of the writing process in mind. He provides you with solid advice on everything from where to get story ideas, build characters, create a plot outline, how to pace your book, how to find an editor, and even takes you through the publication process! This course truly goes over everything you need to know from beginning to end! Very useful information!

Some reviewers deducted rating points, because he trips over his words and is monotone. However, the technical information that he gives is above 5 stars. He speaks from experience on a broad range of topics related to fiction writing, but also speaks of his limitations. In other words, he knows a lot, but is not a know-it-all. It was worth my time, and feel more confident in choosing to write my first novel.
