I had never read any of Alan Moore's work, and I'm ashamed to now admit that I didn't even know who he was before I did this course (I think it happened because his genre is outside my scope of interest.) However, I had purchased full access to all Maestro courses and wished to immerse myself in as many different writing courses as I could, and thus I "met" Alan. WELL! I have been blown away by his teaching, I wish I'd heard of him years ago. He has taught me so much about the origins of language, the many different writing styles, and the ways to truly tap into creativity and approach this as a craft rather than "work". The sheer joy of being a writer. I'm a university graduate in another discipline, and I have studied at a professional level. I was therefore really appreciative of Alan's approach, he mentions other writers, and points to his influences, but leaves it to you to go and find out more if you want to. He basically saturates you with his knowledge and information that if you choose to, you could follow up on and grow into a full programme of graduate-level study. I love him now, and will always think of him as my tacher.
