Ken Follett's course was excellent: comprehensive, thoughtful, encouraging, generous with insights, and kind. His demeanor was warm and personable and I feel I will miss spending time each day with a friend. He has provided me with a much better sense of the path forward in crafting my historical novel.

I've spent the whole day watching these lessons and taking notes. Follett is a great teacher, warm and engaging, with lots of clear examples to illustrate his points. Highly recommended.

The segments were just a bit long, attention (mine at least) worn off after a while. Other than that it was most interesting and craftily done.

Excellent! Very helpful for giving advice drawing from his own writing experience. All down to earth, sincere and honest advice. I've learnt a lot from his lessons.

I am loving Ken Follett's course and to be honest, will be quite sad when it concludes. I had previously done Isabel Allende's course (she's an author I've read), and despite not having read any of Mr Follett's books (a mistake I will correct immediately!) - it didn't matter. His advice applies to everyone doing any genre of writing. It was inspired to have guests in some of the lessons to elucidate further, and how generous to share beyond writing tips, to explain his process and what works for him as an author. I really cannot rate this course high enough - I have found it invaluable and so enouraging. Now I'm off to bury myself in 'The Pillars of the Earth'! Do the course...you'll learn, you'll enjoy, you'll maybe discover a new favourite author.

Of the courses I have taken on this excellent programme, Ken Follett's is by far the most detailed and intense. Mr Follett takes us through his way of writing a novel in great depth, introducing us to a depth of method that I hadn't imagined and it is a great insight into the way a professional writer may need to work. An excellent course full of hard-earned knowledge from an expert in his field.
