Back to Basics
Back to Basics is a mini-course designed to help you build a strong foundation in writing. Learn the rules so you know when, where, and how to break them to your story's benefit. Courses may occasionally highlight specific writing styles or genres where the focal topic is most commonly used (or over-used).
Each course includes a full post on our blog and a challenge. You can submit your effort for feedback.
Back to Basics is free to all writers around the world. Talk with us in the forum and on Twitter using the tag #WWB2B.
