You Can Transform Your Writing With These Five Courses
The scariest moment is always just before you start.

People around the world aspire to be writers. So the chances are that if you’re reading this, you do too.
While writing is as simple as sitting down and putting pen to page, it is often difficult to know where to start.
Due to this, writers like us strive to analyze why we are unmotivated, get blocked, and don’t hit our word count targets consistently during the writing process.
I’ve combed through all the courses on Udemy that are affordable and available right now to bring you the shortlist I think will significantly impact your writing.
- Writing with Confidence by Clare Lynch — created by a teacher from Cambridge University, this course is designed to take writers on a journey from a beginner to paid pro.
Over 45,000 students have benefitted from this course, and I think you should too. I especially like the multimedia format of the resources available and the focus on commercial writing to earn from your vocation — with confidence.
2. Conquering Writers’ Block by Jessica Brody is critical as it will help you overcome the much-dreaded writer’s block. In addition, this will help you understand the psychology behind writer’s block.
3. Grammar Boot Camp: Easy Lessons for Common Writing Mistakes by S.J. Lawrence Ph.D. — this course is precious as it will enable you to edit your own and other people’s work to a high level, providing you with a valuable and monetizable skill.
Grammar is something that even experienced writers struggle with, so it is especially worth overcoming this challenge early in your writing journey!
While the notes suggest this for people fluent in English, we think it is probably helpful for writers to write in English as their second language, too.
4. Travel Writing: Explore the World & Publish your stories! by Dave Fox is my fourth choice, and while it is slightly harder to achieve this right now physically, we encourage you to look at images of destinations and, importantly, use your imagination to discover new adventures and incorporate them in your writing.

5. Writing Great Fantasy: World Building Workshop: My final course is for those who want to write fiction. Even if you’re not specifically interested in writing fantasy, the Writing Great Fantasy: World Building Workshop by Jason Link will still be hugely beneficial because it will show you how to construct compelling and believable narratives, even if they live in the uncanny valley.
All you need to enjoy this specific course is imagination, and we firmly believe that should be a prerequisite for all writers!
