Apex offers first-rate classes at an affordable price. I’ve taken writing classes from a number of different providers, and the Apex webinars are among the best. The teachers are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and have a friendly, down-to-earth attitude.

An excellent course that really helped me shake loose some of the choke points I had on finishing works. Great information and examples, coupled with practical writing exercises.

The best aspect of the workshop was the entertaining and thoughtful brainstorming exercises such as listing sensory details for a scene. Overall, the workshop has me thinking about practical ways to apply these kinds of brainstorming exercises to flash fiction I create in the future.
