Course Overview
Learn step-by-step what it takes to write your first novel with the help of a bestselling author.
There are four things that we are going to talk about in this course. The first is how to get started. We'll start from the very beginning and talk about where to get ideas, how to get your story going, and the best tools you should use that will make writing and formatting your book a breeze.
Then we'll talk about how to get your story finished. Writing a novel is a huge challenge, and I'll provide some tips and tricks that will make sure you get that first draft completed.
After we've gotten through our first draft, well go over how to polish your book to perfection, and how and where to find editors. I'll even provide a sample template you can use that should save you a lot of time in finding the right editor for you.
Finally, we'll cover how to get your book and to all of the four major online bookstores. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, and Kobo. As well as how to distribute your book even further.

Perché l’autore è autoreferenziale, non ci sono i sottotitoli e l’immagine è fissa. Fin qui il corso è noioso e poco utile

It's pretty good! There is a lot of good material in here. Definitely not a one-stop shop for all things writing but a good course to get you up and going.

Firstly, Ryan is genuinely interested in helping his audience be a better writer- and that is depicted throughout his course. Also- he has covered almost all aspects of writing- which a new-to-writing individual would need. Thoroughly enjoyed it- except I hope I get to see Ryan a lil more relaxed ;)

This course is the best I have taken so far. It was exactly what I needed. The instructor went over several points that I really needed help with. I will be looking for other courses, maybe there is an advanced course to t his one.
