How to choose a book writing class
Looking to build your writing skillset, learn more about your genre, or finally finish that book you’ve been working on? You’re in the right place. That’s why we built this directory of the best creative writing courses.
However, creative writing classes aren’t one size fit all. If you’re planning to join a book writing class in particular, you’ll want to make sure that it matches what you’re seeking to learn about writing a book.
So make sure to consider the following questions when you’re researching book writing courses:
- Who is the instructor? How many years of experience do they have in writing a book?
- Is there something in particular you’d like to learn about writing a book? Does this course include it?
- How long is the course, and where is it taught?
- How much does the book writing course cost? Does it fit into your budget?
