Customer Reviews
Like being in the class
I really loved this show and hope more episodes will be coming out. It was just like being in the class. The authors who were speaking had a lot of great info to give.
Outstanding!
Great episodes that are filled with useful advice. Much better than any writing class I've taken. My only wish is that the episodes would be longer.
Great advice from great writers!
I especially loved the talks from Elizabeth Hand and Nancy Kress. These are short & snappy, but very useful.
