The combination of Michelle’s videos followed by a written lecture is incredibly helpful and reinforces the material she covered in her videos. Additionally, you can take your time. Michelle gives you lots of real world examples and links to books that illustrate her points. The presence of Michelle is very comforting, she is very affable and conveys a true sense of someone who is very knowledgeable and genuinely open to support you and answer any question you may have… If you have a novel within you and you don’t know how to proceed, this is the course for you.” -Colin Mason
