I learned some helpful tips on how to edit and how to better structure a story. But there were assignments particularly on the last two that should have used assignment two or three.

I think there should be more guidance on giving feedback to peers on assignments. There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding on word counts as well. I did enjoy the course.

Very simplistic in places and preaches their style as if it is the only way sometimes too. However it's a good grounding in the basics and there are some useful exercises.

Basic course for budding writers.
Good practice.
Also, excellent interviews with other published writers, editors and playwrights. It was the highlight of the course for me.

Good course! A little outdated, but the information still stands well! I feel a lot more prepared about story structure and am excited to put this knowledge to good use!

El curso es muy interesante, da las pautas para que un escritor principiante pueda organizarse y es enriquecedor las distintas voces de diferentes escritores que convoca.

I Love this Course. It challenges me to write. It makes me believe I can be a good writer, may be an author.
Thank you Commonwealth Education Trust Team.

The rules are not clear enough and unfair. But anyway I enjoyed going through the course. Thank you to everyone who accompanied me and who created it.

It's a nice course for begging writers, it helps you lots of things, like characters, settings, plot and more like enquiry letter and publishing.

This course is fun but informative. It gives practical knowledge of writing skill for a very curious group of readers, the children. Recommended.

I enjoyed the guess interviews. A few times I looked them up on google to see what other books they had written. It was nice to see real life ex

Loved this course! I just wished there was a better system for peer reviews, because I couldn't get any helpful tips or feedbackthrough them.

I'm an English teacher, so much of this was second-hand to me. However, I'm sure it would be hugely beneficial to others.

Great introductory course for writing for children. Comprehensive topic coverage, however not too much detail.

A great tool for beginner writes, but not very good at showing you how to write SPECIFICALLY for children.
