Michael Clay Thompson Creative Writing Course

Hello! Has anyone taken the MCT online creative writing course? Interested in feedback about how worthwhile it is before spending the money.

Thanks! Michele

My dd's didn't take the creative writing course, but nearly 10 years ago I had MCT evaluate 4 essays one summer as part of an essay writing course, and I received detailed feedback.  Some of it was copy/paste boilerplate, but much of it was very specific and he wrote a lot of feedback.

Is this a service he offers?

Note that this course doesn't appear to have anything to do with MCT other than that it is from the same publisher (Royal Fireworks Press).

He offered to read 4 essays over the course of a summer and provide feedback for a fee.  I asked if instead I could submit 2 essays from each of my daughters and he agreed.  I was grateful for his flexibility because I didn't want to teach writing over the summer, but I wanted to see what he thought of the writing they had already done.
