I purchased the Harlen Coben BBC Maestro writing class because I knew I would learn a great deal from him. I was writing my second book, and I want it to be better than the first! I learnt about pacing the stories, as I can be too fast. Also, the lecture on dialogue was great for me. I use a lot of dialogue. He gives tips on how to keep notes of all the ideas you have throughout the day. Write them down somewhere and file them. You never know when they may come in useful. The course made me feel supermotivated and knowledgeable. Writing can be a lonely journey, so it was good to hear what he has to say. Now that I’ve finished the course I’m going to keep writing my second book with much more knowledge, confidence and gusto than I had before. My favourite thing about the course is that he made me feel like I can be better at writing. If I could summaries the course in one sentence, I would say that Harlan gives you a lot of good tips on how to just get the writing done! You may have a lot of good ideas, but you need to put in the work also. I would recommend this course to anyone who is considering being a writer, who is halfway through writing and who even, like me has already published a book. Because he can help you with all of those things. All you have to do is listen! Angela Gould, Author of The Good Suburb

I previously believed it would bore me to watch videos of someone I admire, that my hope of learning would be met with frustration. I was so wrong, at least with the master I selected, Isabel Allende. She is giving secret amazing knowledge for a very small investment of your time and money. It has taken me ten years to learn what I was doing wrong with my novel in progress. Had the BBC master been available to me then I could have saved myself a lot of work in the wrong direction. This woman (Isabel Allende) is a literary angel come down to offer the best she has. I wish I had signed up sooner. The BBC maestro is an amazing program. 10 stars.

I'm finding it hard to access this course on my email; hard to get into it, and I don't know how to download it.

I really enjoyed listening to Evy. She delivered an authentic message which came from her heart. I really believe that she wants to help others by sharing the techniques she has acquired in her professional and personal life. Thank you Evy

Easy to access, priced keenly and excellent quality material. Top “teachers” and a wealth of learning. Don’t hesitate to grab a bit of magic for yourself. Jonathon Yeo’s Art course is inspiring. Thank you BBC Maestro!

I have loved learning about bread making from Richard Bertinet's tutorials. His passion for dough and bread making is really inspiring. I am looking forward to following some other courses that BBC Maestro has created.

Have only recently signed up for full access to all the BBC Maestro courses. This seems like good value compared to a single course price. So far am enjoying the courses I have dipped into. Its nice to be able to watch as and when I like and the downloadable course materials will be useful for future reference.

WOW outstanding advice. The quality of the short videos AND support material is outstanding. I started becuase I am a Business Studies Teacher and always run a Dragons Den Competition every year, which Maestro supported the event perfectly. In addition I have now moved on to other areas e.g. Public Speaking. Just Perfect.

With detailed insights from experienced industry insiders there's no better way to learn about these artistic pursuits than through the BBC Maestro sessions. Fully comprehensive tutorials in bite-sized chunks that can consumed wherever and whenever you like make it easy and convenient to learn while leaving no excuse for procrastination.

I haven’t stopped talking about it. I listened to the one with Steven Bartlett. Fantastic pointers. I feel the title should be changed for any size of business plus I don’t hi k his points pertain to relationships too. Has definitely changed my outlook and made me focus. Also I realise that selling my 3 other businesses wasn’t a failure but ‘knowing when to quit’ which suited me to move on to the next thing. I realise ny business is making business
