I absolutely loved Beata's course. She has such a calming way of explaning everything and I found her ideas so inspiring! The customer service was so helpful when I experienced an issue too. Would highly recommend!

I dont want marketing and emails everyday just because it cost nothing and its automated . Its pathetic. I will enjoy the lectures with out the aggressive tone deaf marketing and surveys thanks.

This is my first course, with JoJo Moyes. Just what I needed to jump start my writing and give me new tools to work with.

I chose the class taught by Ken Follett because I am writing Historical Fiction. His class was excellent, with concrete examples of how to make your writing exciting to the reader. Of the many classes I have taken, I felt I got more realistic direction from this than any other. I would definitely recommend this class.

Frustrating. Started on a weekend and saw part but was denied access to rest. Then was told my password did not work and no support was available until Monday when I was busy. Momentum destroyed and I have yet to return. Would like my money back because I do not trust continuance of streaming.

I am currently taking the class with Harlan Coben. I chose this class because I also write (although, not yet published) suspense novels. I wanted to learn more about the wrtiting process and the post-writing process and, after watching 21 of the 23 classes, I have learned so much. Actually, it gave me the courage to email my first query letter along with the 1st chapter of my novel to Lisa Erbach Vance today.

If only for Julia Donaldson's course! She is a true Maestro writer as well as a Maestro communicator. What an inspirational teacher! Thank you, Julia, and thank you, Maestro!

Each session is really focused on the subject matter full of absolute gold. I’m learning so much. The course notes are also awesome for reflection after each session. I have already recommended it.

I wanted to add "The Art of Influence" by Evy P to my resume, but it feels less credible having no certificate. Now that I completed it...it feels disappointing. I already learnt a good chunk of this from that sketchy book 48 Laws of Power. She's beautiful and not weird like that author though I'll give her that. I do feel she could've given us more though. I would have paid $100 instead of $69 for the certificate. Thats what I am stuck on.. Am I supposed to teach my future daughter how to get to the top of Abby lee's dance pyramid with this? My daughter belongs on reality televison. I am smart whats being taught i can find on Youtube and Tik Tok now. A certificate would have been nice something i can print on my wall and say I did that for my 2027 reflection. This is supposed to be a serious topic and there is encouragement to only use these steps to be genuine. If that is warrented to say throughout this course then its serious enough for a valid credible certificate. Im not a Karen. I just want my furture daughter.. Shawndra Tallahassie to be geared up for reality and be hella rich on tv. --- Kelin Brite

Informative, engaging, interesting and relevant topics to expand minds of all ages and levels of education. I received a surprise membership as a Christmas gift and I am truly enjoying every episode. I can't wait to see what more is in store for me! As an author, I'm always looking to further my knowledge and learn new things to help me build my craft. Thank you BBC Maestro!

I am so impressed with the Julia Donaldson lessons on writing picture books for children! I am just at the start, but am already opening my eyes to new ideas. She is so warm and encouraging and definitely inspiring. With all the people offering expensive courses, I am so glad that I chose the BBC maestro!

Only watched one expert so far on the subject that I wanted help with. Having heard anything I didn't previously know through online courses or self help books costing far less. And I subscribed with a hefty discount over the new year. Nicely filmed, though.
