About this listen
Tap into the power of effective writing by developing the fundamental critical and analytical skills that transform your writing from "good" to "great." Regardless of your subject, goal, or occasion, these skills will help you organize your thoughts into a coherent piece, make a persuasive argument rooted in facts, and make responsible use of research materials.
You'll find the secrets of these and other methods in 24 accessible lectures that immerse you in the elements of successful writing. With engaging literary and everyday examples, inspirational prompts, and unforgettable insights, this course is the perfect reference guide for both professional and casual writers.
Survey the ways five major literary genres-fiction, essay, poetry, drama, and autobiography-can show you the path to stronger persuasive and critical writing. Writing prompts and practice examples will help you better understand how to apply the insights you'll uncover by studying each genre. See how the art of rhetoric can help you adapt your writing to different situations. The increased awareness of classical rhetoric you gain will go a long way toward making you a stronger writer by calling your attention to the basics of compelling analytical writing. Take a step-by-step look at the four major stages of the writing process-researching, writing a first draft, editing, and rewriting.
Chock full of useful strategies and real-world examples, this course is an invaluable tool for developing your effective writing skills so you can better express yourself to others.

Great tips for essay writing
Great tips with regards to essay structure and collection of citations. For fictional writing I'd recommend Stephen King's book on writing

What I never learned at school
Any additional comments?
Prof Armstrong has only one flaw, she is so impressive in her content and delivery that I sometimes found myself being distracted by her shining star.
So much of this material is practical, there are even suggestions on overcoming writer's block. And I can't remember ever being taught the structure of an essay at school - at least not in a way which was as clear and as memorable as is presented here. So I will need to listen to it again but will do so with pleasure.
Genuinely, A Great Course.

Good for essay writing & research
This was better than I expected. Would be a great aid for tertiary students or budding non fiction writers.
