Have you seen the advertisements for the website masterclass.com? I loved the concept when I first noticed it.
Imagine learning acting from Samuel L. Jackson, tennis from Serena Williams, or cooking from Wolfgang Puck. When I saw that Malcolm Gladwell had a writing course on the site, I knew I wanted to take it.
You probably know that Malcolm Gladwell is the author of several bestselling books, including The Tipping Point, Blink, The Outliers, and David and Goliath. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. I have always been fascinated by his ability to think outside the box.
If you have any interest in writing nonfiction, Malcolm Gladwell’s master class is worth your time. I watched all 24 lessons in one day, while furiously typing notes. It was like sitting with him in his Manhattan apartment while he talked about his writing process and his experiences. My favorite lessons were the ones where he described his interviewing style and his story-telling techniques.
One thing I like about the masterclass.com website is the option to upload video questions for the instructor. I also liked the course outline that was provided for download.
Take a look at masterclass.com. I know you will find something you want to explore.
