I used to write stories for my niece and nephew and it got me hooked on writing. I'd like to write for a more adult audience now and maybe earn a penny now and then. So far the course is great. The writer includes text samples that illustrate every technique. Also, the teacher responds within a couple of hours and he has a ton of extra tips to give you.

Signing up was easy. I could immediately log in to my account and use the digital course. The paper version was sent to me in two days. Unfortunately I couldn't take the exam cause I live too far away but the teacher gave me a kind of portfolio task for which I had to write a short story, a poem and an epistolary novel chapter all within the same story. It taught me a lot about writing. Great course.
