I really enjoyed the class. The content was well organized and something I can refer to when I'm ready to being writing my Cozy Mystery. The recipes were a bonus- I didn't realize they were included. That was nice! Although I still find it a little difficult to maneuver around the Savvy site and not miss any of the posts. I'm assuming that's just my learning curve.
Kerri Nelson's Cozy Mystery class was very helpful in explaining what is required in a successful cozy mystery. I'm new to writing this genre. Ms. Nelson has a humorous, easy-going presentation. She encourages lots of questions, and I enjoyed reading her answers, as well as the questions from the participants. She permits everyone ample opportunity to describe what they are working on.
This class was informative, helpful and perfectly planned. I would not hesitate to take another class from this instructor because she is not only effective she is totally fun!
