The Malcolm Gladwell Teaches Writing MasterClass might just be the best non-fiction writing course on the internet. I’m not just saying that because Malcolm Gladwell is one of my personal writing heroes. I would have gotten reams of insights out of this course, and had a blast doing so, even if I hadn’t already enjoyed all […]
How to Style and Format Your University Essays
Styling and formatting essays can be a major PITA. Why can’t our arguments stand on their own merits? That’s how I used to think for more than half of my university career. And for most of my time at university I was throwing away easy marks. People fear learning proper essay styling and formatting because it […]
R.L. Stine Teaches Writing For Young Audiences MasterClass Review
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the release of the R.L. Stine Teaches Writing For Young Audiences MasterClass. I had literally just ordered a huge stack of Goosebumps and Fear Street books. They were a treat for finishing the first draft of a new novel and I was also keen to study how R.L. Stine writes for […]
Books To Make You Happy, Disgusted, Scared, Sad & Mad
I saw the new Disney Pixar film last night. Coco. Hated every minute of it. It looked pretty, but there was no heart beating beneath those coloured clothes. To be honest, I left the cinema feeling insulted. Like I got duped out of $18 to see a poor-man’s Inside Out. I know I’m in the minority here. I […]
Helen Mirren Teaches Acting MasterClass Review
The Helen Mirren Teaches Acting MasterClass is easily one of my favourite masterclasses to date (and I’ve enjoyed a lot of them). I’m not an actor, but I’ve been a fan of Helen Mirren for many years and figured I could learn some valuable insights into character construction that would help my writing career. Seeing as my All Access Pass lets […]

Book reviews drastically improve your ability to retain what you read, understand difficult themes, and share your love of a book with the world. If you’re not currently writing book reviews after reading […]
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (Book Review)
The first half of this We Were Liars review is spoiler-free. I’ll give you a heads-up right when I get into spoiler territory. If you’ve already read We Were Liars and are intrigued to know what I think, feel free to skip ahead to the second half of this review. I’m only going to do a real […]
Shakespeare’s Comedies and Tragedies
The compilation of Shakespeare’s First Folio, in 1623, had the plays divided into the generic labels of Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies. Since then, the plays have been considered generically in relation to the category that was first imposed upon them. But Shakespeare’s plays are not static enough in their conventions as to be completely tragic, comic, […]
Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami (Book Review of the Week)
Some people think he’s a genius. Others think he’s a complete pervert. I think it’s a bit of both… I’ve just finished reading Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami. It’s a collection of seven short stories all tied together by the theme of men… without women… As you can probably tell from the title. The strange […]
Bob Woodward Teaches Investigative Journalism MasterClass Review
I’ve held immense respect for Bob Woodward’s investigative journalism ever since I saw All the President’s Men in my teenage years. I went on to devour his Pulitzer Prize winning work and many of his fascinating non-fiction books. For years, I had dreams of becoming an investigative journalism myself (primarily interested in war-torn regions and government corruption). […]
