Bob Woodward – Investigative Journalism

This entry is part 16 of 37 in the series Class Reviews

Updated: 1/24/2020 I started this one and decided it was a focus class, not a background listening class. I need to come back and really focus on it. It seems like a great resource for learning how to research topics for books.

Class Review: Dan Brown – Writing Thrillers

This entry is part 11 of 37 in the series Class Reviews

Updated: 1/24/2020 Excellent. Again listening while doing other work, and not taking notes. Will have to go back. In the middle of the class he has an excellent couple of chapters where he breaks down how to create a thriller using a wine maker as an example main character. It’s really good.
