  • Fantastic content, presented and chunked out well. Very digestible, super impactful! My one piece of feedback pertains to the course page and set up, not the content: having a clear roadmap of steps to take, including the homework to be done *before* the course starts, would have been helpful. If it was there, I couldn't find it (and I'm relatively literate...); as a result, I started the course content and had to stop and scramble to add 1-2 hours of pre-work to my schedule, buried as an attachment called "Homework." Having a clear "First, do the 1-2 hour long assignment contained in the Homework file. Next, complete the videos..." would have been great for busy learners.

  • too good

  • This songwriting course does a great job of breaking down the process in a way that feels both practical and inspiring. The instructor explains melody, lyrics, and chord progressions clearly, using real-world examples that make it easy to follow along. It’s perfect for beginners but still offers useful insights for more experienced songwriters. Some parts could go a bit deeper, especially on advanced techniques, and a few more hands-on exercises would make it even better. Overall, though, it’s a solid, well-paced course that gives you real tools to improve your songwriting.

  • This was an excellent introduction to prompt engineering. The downloadable content was also very helpful. Thank you.

  • Great foundational ideas and tips for getting started. Fast-paced, interesting and lively. I was seeking information to write in a professional manner. Joyce is encouraging and down-to-earth. I am more prepared to move forward with my story.

  • Too good. Lisa nails it.

  • I am so glad I took this course! I have been writing novels as a hobby for decades and never felt able to take it to a new level. Everything she talked about made so much sense and has given me a whole new perspective! I am finally unstuck on a particular project and am excited to start writing the story now! THANK YOU Lisa!

  • I feel empowered to write now. Everything else I have read about writing intimidated me. I could NOT SEE the process they were teaching. But this made so much sense, very foundational! I could envision the process. I highly recommend this course and supplemental guide. I wish I could ask of the books I pick up to read, "Did the author take this course? because I don't want to waste my time reading this book unless they did!"

  • Amazing class! Worth your time, if you take the time to do the worksheets.

  • This has been the best writing class I have ever taken and I want to say Thank you, Lisa Cron! You helped me make sense of story and helped me find my way back to writing. I was almost ready to give up… because I could not understand how to tell a story. Thanks to you. I’m ready to try yet again! Xo Marie

  • Lisa is so compelling! I am not a writer and did not intend to study writing but I can not seem to stop listening to her class... highly recommend this course for anyone interested in story-telling.

  • Lisa is the Genius here. She has helped me so much with how to tell a story. I highly recommend this class.

  • Oh my gosh, i took so, so many notes. Despite it being a quick and dirty version of the class, I figured out where my main character was stuck and now everything makes sooo much more sense. I'm planning on going back and doing the full length course to see what else comes. Lisa is a spectacular tutor. I loved this course!!

  • Very thought-provoking course that has influenced my life and the life of others. Great piece of work! Thank you!

  • I red the book and it had a very strong impact on my growth. this course reveals many aspects on which the book does not focus. Highly recommended...from my point of view, it should be a mandatory course for high school students in Italy

  • This was absolutely life changing and I am almost 60 years old. I have been told I am weird my whole life even though I have stayed employed my whole adult life ....retail, housekeeper, County court clerk, and now only recently a job that I love and is my red thread!!! Caregiving. I am on leave right now for a knee injury however it appears I am also in a place that I can learn more about my red threads and to embrace my weirdness that makes my ability to be a wanted caregiver from the clients that understand my weirdness or embrace it.....is really so gratifying to think about.

  • Wonderful informative class. I look forward to reading her books!

  • I recommend this course. It's really nourishing and I plan to use it in my daily life.

  • I have been writing - and listening to writing teachers - for years and Lisa Cron is the first person who has laid out the structure of story so that story writing now seems possible!! Bravo!!

  • Very insightful

  • It's a really good starting point and gives you an overview. The CreativeLive team is really fantastic to bring Mark here. You'll know that the most important skill is the prompt skill. Talk with AI.

  • Love it

  • Loved it. Great teacher!

  • Love would Bill and Dave have designed! These tools and frameworks are beneficial to treat life like a constant discovery.

  • Highly powered course. The presentation was inspiring and authentic. Great effort by the team, who got this course out. Thanks Peter. You are the Man.
