Reactions:
“This was my third Great Lecture series title to purchase. The pacing, information, and exercises were excellent. James takes the time to walk the listener through some excellent examples. When he pulled out “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by O’Conner I knew we were soul mates. His advice to writers is honest but not defeating. Now I’m going to have to read his books.” – L. Kuhl

“I really enjoyed this course. I’ve read a lot of books about writing and creative writing; I’ve listened to other courses on writing. I’ve never had a course this good on the subject. Tell you the truth, I’m sure that I now know more about writing and how to write, and may end up actually writing something, but I am even more sure that now I understand the art of fiction even better and can enjoy the writing of others more.” – Bror Erickson

“Professor Hynes brings his fiction-writing experience to this course. i wasn’t sure how well the audio might transfer from the video lecture, and still keep the material understandable, but I found this course enjoyable and educational on my iPod. Professor Hynes brings multiple examples to explain the subject, and helped clear up some items for me.” – T. Hicks

“Stein on Writing is a much better book. This was okay, but seemed too generic and not enough really good tips.” – Lynda McL

“He quotes a lot of writers who talk about writing, but only gives a surface analysis which comes across as shallow and insincere. This is pretty much the same information you’ll get from Mrs. Munson’s high school English class with a lot of name dropping of famous authors.” – Latte Town
