Reviews

LOVE the course! LOVE John! This course is extremely informative and helpful. John is SO likeable! It feels like he’s talking right to me. I laugh – I shake/nod my head. Honestly, I feel like we’re buddies. It’s good. HE’S good!

Robbin Gabriel

This is the best course about writing the best novel. A logical and concise structure, lots of examples, tips that would take me years to find — all this makes this course the best.

Lianella Drozdova

I take a lot of writing courses and read a lot of books on writing (which tend to overlap a lot and repeat the same things), yet so much of the advice and lessons in this course were completely new and valuable to me. The instructor is a natural teacher, explains concepts wonderfully, not just the writing lesson but also the effect it will have on the story, which makes it much more interesting and easier to understand. More courses like this, please!

Emira Mahmutovic

Finally, a writing course that’s practical and useful! I’ve paid for several online writing courses in the past, most of which talked about the importance of plot or character etc, but stopped short of giving practical advice on how to achieve this well. John’s tutorials are accessible and to the point, full of good ideas and examples and at last I feel that I’ve found a teacher whom I can relate to and who provides what they claim to! Looking forward to beginning the next course shortly.

Richard Evans

John is a friendly and enthusiastic teacher, with interesting and often surprising examples from life or literature. Once I saw how useful these ideas were, I slowed down to write new or revises scenes for each lesson. A great course — thank you, John — I will use these techniques forever!

Rose Kleidon

I loved the course and I have written 3 self published books. Your course has given me some kudos in what I did right and some help in how to improve my next novel. Five stars!

Alida Chaney

This course had so many useful, applicable skills, and actionable pieces of information that are really helping me become more productive with my writing and writing time. I also love the quizzes after videos! I think they are helpful cementing what I have learned.

Andrew Dransfield

The course was very helpful for me in writing my own book, but also for my efforts in helping give suggestions to my friends who are authors. I especially liked all of the examples.

Melanie Seilbach

This course was fantastic. It was thorough without being overly detailed and was informative without being too comprehensive. John is great at being entertaining and positive while also being knowledgeable and insightful. His many examples from successful novels add a lot to the presentation and understanding of the concepts. The quizzes and PDFs are valuable at instilling the content of each lesson.

Kevin Brehm

Everything you didn’t know you needed to write your first novel (but actually did need to know) is contained in this extremely comprehensive and helpful course. And it was highly entertaining as well. Five stars.

Janice Churchwell

This is a very educational course. I enjoyed every minute of it. Every aspiring writer should take this course.

Madison Ciabattari

Mr. Fox makes very creative use of his extensive background, work in the field of editing and creating works of fiction. I find his quizzes helpful as a way to reinforce the salient features of the lessons. He added great depth, offered novel ideas taught in a memorable format, and had delightful humor.

Michael Boucher

The course certainly does teach the student how to write the best novel. It’s clear, concise and yet full of very practical wisdom.
