Nice introductory lessons for would-be writers
I've really enjoyed the lessons from this course - and it's free! Hear the personal accounts of six well-known writers as they discuss their craft. Lots of little videos chatting about writing from the authors too.
It seems people are leaving negative reviews because they are trying to use a phone. I have an iPad. Works perfectly.
