“This course helped me to focus, prioritize, and develop a working strategy to achieve my goals.””As a person who has longed to write for most of her life, but lacked confidence, time and was too easily distracted, this course gave me great inspiration from writers who go through it all too. It truly has given me the focus and tools to get started with enthusiasm. Many thanks!””Informative, accessible and enjoyable, this course provided me with tools and reassurance to alleviate self-doubt, and the motivation and inspiration to get through the first draft of my new novel.”

“I found So You Want to Write? to be exactly what I needed, at the tail end of eighteen months of home schooling and lockdowns, to get my head back in the writing game. The structure allowed me to fit in small chunks of work around other demands, and the content has given me a real boost and helped remind me why I love writing.”

“This course helped me figure out how to get started with my writing. It made me realise I can write and to stop waiting on the perfect conditions and just start. I got tools to begin my writing life and encouraging words to remember when things get tough.””

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
• Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.
