Your instructor:

Rick began writing stories as soon as he could write. As a child, he would shut himself away in his bedroom and bash away on his Windows 95 computer for hours.

As Rick grew up, he had to overcome multiple mental health issues, including OCD, Bipolar Disorder and Tourette's Syndrom. Rick did battle through, going on to become a stand-up comedian, through which he performed three Edinburgh Fringe Festival shows. Eventually, Rick gave up the stand-up lifestyle to become an English and Drama Teacher. In 2018, Rick then gave up being a teacher and achieved his lifelong dream of being a full-time author.

Rick now lives in Cheltenham, where he works hard at writing horror and thriller novels, most notably known for The Sensitives

Very informative, I love it! I'm learning a lot from this course and after three years of writer's block I feel motivated to go and write my story. Thank you! Martina O'Brien

It says it is a horror and thriller course. It is not. There is a lot of information. On character, story structure and so on. You learn nothing about horror or thriller writing like promised

Plenty of useful, ground level stuff in this course. I have yet to read any Rick Wood but now I just may.

Avrei voluto un approfondimento maggiore sulle tecniche di scrittura horror, che è il motivo per cui ho acquistato questo corso. Invece mi sono ritrovata con un corso generale sulla scrittura e con davvero poco in ambito horror (non serve un corso per dire "Leggi Stephen King")-
