Research Make My Genre Punk with Alli Martin

Wow, I learned so much!!! I had a basic understanding of what some of the punk genres were before hand but had no idea the intricacies and foundations of each. Alli not only showed she had a deep knowledge but created the lessons in a structured and clear way that made it easy to understand and apply to my own story, helping me better understand the course material through the lens of my characters' world. Her feedback on assignments to other classmates and me was thorough and extremely helpful. What I learned in this course has already made an impact on my current novel in progress and I cannot wait to take another class from Alli!

For someone like me who had only minimal knowledge of the basics of each punk genre, this class was highly informative. While I already had a solid understanding of steampunk and cyberpunk, Alli's lessons filled in a lot of the gaps in my knowledge and pointed me in the directions I wanted to go to learn more. Her exercises were useful for worldbuilding within those genres, but could also be adapted for any project. She also engaged well with everyone posting their exercises for review with thoughtful and actionable comments. I'll refer back to the information I gained in this class in the future, and I'd gladly take more classes taught by Alli.

The handouts complete and very informative. I look forward to applying what I've learned. I can't wait to take my next class.
