Hi, all! Long time no Wordsmith Wednesday, eh? There’s lots of life that’s been happening, but I am so, so pleased to be back this week to tell you about a course that I just finished. As in, I finished it less than an hour ago. It was the Write a Novel course put together by Russell Nohelty<\/a> of The Complete Creative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As someone who has read a lot of novels, has proofread\/edited quite a few novels, and has even helped write a couple of novels, I wasn’t sure if this was the course for me, but when I was asked if I’d be willing to beta it, I couldn’t find one good reason to say no. It turns out that I’m very glad that I said yes.<\/p>\n

Russell’s course is broken down into 7 modules with each module having multiple videos covering different subtopics within each one. I loved this format because it allowed me to take the course over multiple days, stopping and starting where I needed to. The videos ranged from about 5 minutes to 20 minutes. For those of us with crazy lives, this is such a fantastic way to be able to learn without feeling as if you’re missing out on something.<\/p>\n

At the end of the course, Russell provides multiple resource downloads, including an outline one that I can guarantee that I’m going to find insanely valuable as I continue to write the final book in The Tether Saga.<\/p>\n

Now, like any true review, let’s break it down…<\/p>\n

The Good<\/u>:
\nI love the multiple video format. Like I said above, it makes it so easy to watch whenever you can steal a few minutes from your day. On top of that, Russell breaks everything down in a clear, concise manner. Every time I had a question, he answered it in the video before I even had a chance to jot it down to ask him later about. I came away feeling as if I had really learned and to me, that’s the true value in something like this.<\/p>\n

The Bad<\/u>:
\nRussell covers a lot of material in this course, including his entire process, editing\/finding an editor, but the one thing that he didn’t mention and that I think would be a valuable addition would be a segment regarding covers. Perhaps where to find covers and things of that nature.<\/p>\n

The Summary<\/u>:
\nI believe that Russell is launching this course at an insanely reasonable $47. For that price, you get over 2 hours of instructional video and honestly, outside of the editor module (which I didn’t need since that’s one of my many hats that I wear), there wasn’t a single video\/module that I didn’t get something from. I honestly believe that this is a course that any writer can gain some valuable knowledge and insight from. My suggestion? This is a great course to get a lot of knowledge as well as a feeling for his other, more expensive courses. Go sign up now<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Edit: I just found out from Russell that this course is FREE until March 15th when the price will go up to the $47 that I mentioned earlier. Do NOT miss out on this opportunity!<\/p>\n

More Edit: Since I wrote this, Russell has added sections on book formatting, covers, and blurbs!<\/p>\n
