WHY THIS COURSE?

Whether you’re a budding wordsmith or someone who already has a few novels under their belt, having a set of tools that are useful for your path as a writer will be essential in order to achieve your goal: to write a novel and become a real writer.

But—you ask—why should you take a course, why this one in particular? My name is Luca Panzarella. I've been writing since I was 14, I’ve self-published several books that have sold over 3000 copies, and I have created the most famous literary contest website in Italy, whose mission is to help budding writers.

But that’s not the only answer to your question: the real reason why you should take this course is that over the past two years, I’ve devoted all my time to studying most of the writing books out there and cataloguing the books and movies that have gotten the highest sales, trying to understand what their secret is. And that’s exactly how I want to teach you this information: by reading these books and watching these movies together with you, thanks to the countless examples in the lessons.

The course had an incredible success in Italy and that's why I decided to translate all the 7+ hours content and I worked with a phenomenal american voice talent in order to give you the maximum quality of the lessons.

Start taking the free lessons and see for yourself: is it just me, or are you becoming a better writer already? Your journey towards being a better writer begins right now.
