LitReactor Courses - A Recommendation

Ninjalawyer · 05-15-2014, 09:51 AM

I just went through a one-week short story writing course over at LitReactor, and thought I'd post my quick thoughts on it in case anyone else is interested in the online courses they do.

Taught by Richard Thomas, I can't recommend it enough. The course was 7 days, with a lecture (readings) and an assignment on each day, followed by writing a complete story using the components from the last 7 days. Thomas did a good job with feedback, and recommending potential markets for the completed story at the end.

I did an in-person writing course long ago, but found that doing it online was a better fit for my personality.

Anyone else do any of the other courses?

A complete story? I assume its a short? How much is the class?

The story I had to turn in at the end of the week had to be 1,200 words or less, so a very short story. The course cost me about $99.

Cool. I've been wondering about these courses. Thanks for this.
