“I do alot of these mini courses for fun or if I'm stuck on something in my current book or screenplay and usually they are okay. Malorie is really fabulous. Engaging, insightful, useful - I understood the problem of my current book during this course. It's good for beginners or mid career writers like me who have forgotten to refresh some basics.”

“I started this course quite a long time ago, about the same time I had the idea for the novel I am "part-time writing" in between a full time job and other life demands. I'd been writing short form pieces since my teenage years and devouring many, many books with YA themes before YA was a thing i think. So it was only natural to me that when I decided to launch myself into my first novel drafting - it would be YA! I needed guidance and reassurance so turned to Mallory's course and i was not disappointed. As I continued to draft, it helped me to open a Pandora's box of all things creative writing (pointing me to various avenues I continued to research). And as I completed the course today watching the last 3 chapters, I realised how far I've come and how much I know now, thanks to this one step I took on an amazing journey, which Mallory helped me take thansk to this course. Thank you!”

“I have no intention of writing a YA book, so for me, this was an adventure in spying on the neighbor’s yard from over the fence; And, I must admit, it is a lovely place. No matter what kind of writing you do, there is plenty in this course to make it worth your time to review. I learned some new things and was reminded of important things that had dropped off the radar. More than this, she is a delightful person to spend time with. Practical, and certainly not pretentious or melodramatic, professional, and it would be great fun to sit and have tea with her, while chatting about writing. If you are nervous about tucking in because writing is new to you, this is your way forward. You must do the work, and she helps you to avoid mistakes and blunders common to new, and old writers.”

“This is a fantastic course, im working on a novel and anything to do with writing im interested in. I found Malorie interesting to watch and the way she explained each section is simplistic, no fluff, just start here and build to there process. I was constantly drawn to her. Her humour was great and her tips for how to do things rather than just talking were so helpful and now using them myself. If you're interested or new to writing, Malorie's course is where you need to start.”

“As another reviewer commented, this course may not be for the writers who are already some way into their writing journey. The content, advice, and tips & tricks are somewhat basic. Nonetheless, Malorie's enthusiasm and encouragement are really what made the course for me. She makes you feel empowered and capabable to write your stories.”

“She has been the best presenter out of the dozen or so I have watched. She's joyful. You like her. But, through no fault of her own, it wasn't very helpful. I was most interested in her thoughts on plot and pacing and story structure. She shows an app she uses and then hurried right past it. I wanted to know exactly how she used it. But I recommend her. I may just be a little further along than the beginning writer.”
