Genre-Historical Writing Vintage Romance and/or Mystery with Beth Daniels

Beth is fun, supportive, helpful, and enthusiastic. She’s generous with sharing her extensive experiences and explains them clearly, making it easy to connect her advice to my writing issues. Best of all, she doesn’t expect us all to adhere to a single rigid formula. She just wants us to write

Great class! Love the prompt feedback from the workshop leader. I would definitely take one of her classes again.

The Murder Book was exactly what I needed for my cozy series. Using it both as a plotting tool, and as an important detail for my characters to refer to, it got me out of a writerly problem and led my characters to find the killer. I now have them develop a murder book in each novel. I immediately signed up for Beth Daniel's next course, Writing Vintage. 5 stars, I recommend!

I found this class to be very rich in information and helpful. Beth is a great instructor and very encouraging. She can critique without being critical--an essential skill.

This class had so much good information. I love all the details she put in each lesson. I will be using this in my future books in my cozy mystery series.

Neat approach to creating the outline of a murder mystery. Would be nice to see some actual content of a murder book, sanitized of course.

This was a wonderful class and I really enjoyed Beth's teaching style. She always responded to my posts or any questions I had and offered some great ideas to help me with my work-in-progress. I highly recommend her as an instructor!

Great instructor, quick to answer questions, spot on with all her information and critiquing of possible problems in our work in progress manuscripts. I would definitely take another course with this instructor!

Clear, concise lectures. Many clear-cut examples about how an author can rethink a character, making it unique.

Beth was great at feedback and interaction, which is when I find the most learning and assimilating of the concepts happen. I would take another of her courses.

I liked her easy teaching style and positive attitude. She was gracious enough to answer all questions asked, and I think our group was definitely writing many genres. Thanks, Beth!

Beth presents information in a clear and engaging manner. I love that she includes participation and feedback rather than just posting lectures. I always walk away from one of her classes with new tools to assist me on my journey!

Great information and fantastic engagement. It helped me come up with some new ideas for my WIP.

This class provided great info on writing a paranormal mystery with various examples. I regret not being able to participate due to work. I'm now playing catch up and glad to have these lectures as a resource. I would definitely take another class with Beth.

I love love love Beth Daniel's classes and this intensive. She does a great job of explaining everything!

Amazing class. It really dug into the trope and also as a bonus I got so much background material and reading for my further learning. Students were very engaged.

I've taken a few courses now through Savvy Authors and I can say this was probably the best one I've taken. Beth Daniels was very organized from the get-go and provided a lot of information and opportunities for us to interact with her in the class. I really appreciated her approach to have challenges for us instead of assignments. I think the more informal approach really opened my ability to think through some issues I've been facing in my own urban fantasy series.

Beth Daniels is a great instructor! Her classes are always thorough, informative, fun, and professional.

Beth Daniels lectures and assignments guided me in planning my historical mystery series with a plot sketch for each book and character arc for my series. She also took the time to give me ideas for recurring themes and scenarios for each book, bringing continuity to my series. I found Beth knowledgeable and the course helpful.

Great content without being overwhelming. Challenging but worth the sweat to improve my magic users in my books.
