Writing a layer after layer - it's amazing. Now, I am aware of dozens critical thriller-signposts! Thank you.

I can never look at a thriller the same way again! Incredible breakdown and analysis - thank you Hal and Cheryl!

Great class. I have been grasping in the dark trying to get a handle on the thriller genre for almost 2 years now. This class saved me hours of headache.

I liked this class. I think like Delia it is my favorite and I intend to use the strategy to build my stories from now on with these steps in mind. My only regret is I think I didn't know how to engage with other students. I asked for exchanges and got no replies. I think I didn't know how to use the site.

I loved this class. Hal really covers everything there is to know about writing the thriller screenplay. I highly recommend this class!

I was doing 94% of this stuff already but in a more time-intensive path of crafting things over and over. This gave a framework to more quickly and clearly do what I was doing by a roundabout path on my own.

There is so much information and strategies here to elevate your script to a professional standard. I can't wait to use all these tools.

I liked being reminded of all the elements to consider when building an engaging story line with high stakes and a complicated and powerful opponent to the protagonist.

Great advice and hints for my stories. The producer I am working with loved the outline I gave him

This class ranks with the best I've ever taken online, with Hal or elsewhere. It's well conceived, clearly designed and led, and very productive when utilized in writing. My only regret is that, for busy people, it would have been helpful to have one more day between lessons. But if you're a thriller writer, by all means take it!
