See what other students are saying:
"This is the best writing class I have ever taken. No one takes you through a specific, example-filled journey like Jane does. I learned more in eight weeks than I thought possible and I cannot say enough good things about this class."
"Jane's process took away the "how the heck" do I write a mystery novel and gave me a simple way to produce a outline for my book. Because of her videos and her class, I am no longer overwhelmed but instead I'm excited to get write. Best class."
"This was THE most helpful writing class I've taken in understanding structure and motivation. It was a treasure trove of specific methods and motives to understand your villain, the crime, and how that impacts your sleuth. I've been recommending this class to everyone and this is the best money I've spent on a class to elevate my craft. I can't recommend this class enough."
