What people are saying
so far
- Mohit Arrora i feel that what i have seen and heard so far are elements i have already put in my novel.
I am enjoying it so far.
So far I am enjoying it!
Excellent so far.
even this short amount of intro I have gotten so far has clarified issues that have been blocking me for years.
I have a few Udemy courses under my belt now, but this one has been the most enjoyable and satisfying so far.
So far, I am enjoying the course.
I have learned a lot from him so far and I've jotted down so many notes that I could follow if I have any other novel or book idea in mind.
I enrolled in this course to learn how to structure a novel, and so far, I am finding the step-by-step instruction very useful.
While much of the information presented so far is nothing (or at least little) I haven't heard in bits and pieces over years of independent research, having it consolidated and presented in a single place, in such high quality has been a boon to my writing.
So far, so good.
So, I'm quite pleased so far!.
Sometime I can get bored with the way that people teach, but overall this course so far had been informative and very helpful.
Based on what I've seen so far and from the description that this was for all levels, I feel like it's lacking in depth when it comes to some topics (as if they were for complete beginners).

novel writing
The organization is perfect and covers every important aspect of novel writing.
This is an introductory course with lots of good elements, but to call it a Novel Writing Workshop is a bit of an overstatement.
I took a novel writing workshop many years ago and planned for this one to be a refresher.
Steve has provided so much needed information for novel writing and I'm grateful.

I studied literature in high school and at university, but I never had the chance to analyse novel writing with so much depth.
I'm taking a novel writing course at University now, and this will definitely help me produce something great!
I felt Steve did a wonderful job compiling this novel writing workshop.
I could tell that he was up-to-date on novel writing by examples he used, such as current novel and famous novels.
Steve's course presents all the elements of novel writing in an interesting, informative, and well organized manner that you can revisit again and again.
I have already written a couple of books but as November draws near I am always wanting to improve as I write my next book for National Novel Writing Month.
With each step explained with clarity, Mr. Alcorn has taken away my fear of novel writing.

Kudos Mr. Alcorn!
Mr. Alcorn is a wonderful teacher who manages to demystify the sometimes intimidating theoretical aspects of fiction writing, and as he does so, to increase the self-confidence and motivation to write your own story with fresh eyes and understanding.
Mr. Alcorn has a very soothing voice and covers each topic in an easy to understand format.
Sorry, I'm sure Mr. Alcorn is good at writing, but teaching it is another story.
Mr. Alcorn's class not only gives you a structure to follow, but he makes writing a book seem easy.

step by step
It will take you a step by step through the whole journey.
He takes you step by step through the novel writing process, is very easy to understand, and gives activities to do at the end of each lesson that help further your novel writing process.
However, this class broke it down step by step and I learned a lot more than I thought I would when it comes to building your novel and characters.
step by step instruction and examples cant really ask for more I'm very glad I took this class.

wanted to write
I already had an idea for the novel I wanted to write, but was meandering on the process of getting from the beginning to the end.
I've always wanted to write a novel, but never really got past jotting down a (let's be honest, rather sparse) outline, or writing a scene or two.
I have always wanted to write a book, but stress and not knowing where to start or how to divide up the work kept me from writing more than a few pages.
I've wanted to write a novel since the age of 17.

goes into
The course goes into necessary detail about how to set up your story and characters and actually write your novel.
I'm sure his book goes into further details, but I got this course so that I wouldn't have to read a book on writing.
The lecturer goes into a lot of detail and explains (in depth) the techniques and tools required to creative a successful novel.
He goes into depth on what makes a great novel and gives many examples The course is well structured and presented.
Take it and really see what goes into the process of creating a novel.

published author
It is an excellent summary of the basics a self-published author ought to know.
I am a published author and I learned quite a few new things in this course!
These are not really lectures, but more of one-way discussions with a published author who is wiling to assist other authors on their journey of creation.
The instructor's voice is pleasant, the film and sound quality high, and every point covered is vital to success as a published author.
However, it has been my life-long dream to become a published author but I have no idea where to start.
