This is a great course for anyone who is or wants to be an online novelist. I developed passion for writing stories through reading online serial novels. In fact, I've read some of the novels used as case studies in this course. When I wrote my first novel online, I naturally followed the same format and it was a success. But subsequently, I began looking for ways to improve my skills and came across a lot of materials. Unfortunately, I was looking into the wrong materials which were majorly for traditional publishers, then I wondered what I was doing wrong. It wasn't until I saw this course that I know that there's a vast difference between traditional novels and online serial novels. Thank you so much, I hope to learn more from you.
