If you could take a writing class which author would it be?

I would also like a class from Edgar Allan Poe because of the stories he wrote and I would love to see his process. I would also like one from J.K. Rowling because I would also like to see how her mind works.

To be honest I can't think of which author I would choose. It's like being asked what my three wishes are... Mind blank! But I would definitely choose an author that was completely mad! They have the best ideas and the craziest worlds to create. They would be the perfect teacher. A new point of view.

I have learned a lot from Stephen King's book On Writing as well but I would have to say I have dreamed of having a lesson with Laurell K Hamilton. I love to read and write in the fantasy romance category so it would be a wonderful asset. Even though her Anita novels have gotten to be a bit too much erotica than adventure I still love the Meredith series though!

This is such a good question, and a tough one as well. I think a class from Dr. Seuss would just be a blast; but whoever it was, I'd want someone who was at least a prolific writer. I'd have to say either Charles Dickens or Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

If I could take a writing class from an author it have to be 1 of 2. They are Katy Regnery and Cassandra Clare. Katy Regnery can always draw me into a book (only downside is that the genre she writes would not be the particular genre that I would enjoy or could see myself writing.) However Cassandra Clare has been spot on in my opinion with every book that I've read of hers.

I would want to take a class from Neil Gaiman and Stephan King.

[Tealover87]

Probably Patrick Rothfuss and John Green. Their flow, readability, descriptions and stories are so smooth and enjoyable.

[Mad3ine]

Emily Bronte, Harry Thompson and Joseph Skibell. All for their poetic language use.

[Valerie]

Dan Brown. Inferno will proves it. This novel is rich of beautiful words ... smart plot.

[Kira Inara]

Robert Louis Stevenson (dead) love his books and two authors Paulo Coelho and Nicholas Sparks.

[May_Mag]

I think I would pick Colleen Hoover since she knows how to get to the reader's emotions!

[meigui22]

i think i would choose Tolstoy and Chekhov ( russian classic literature)

[Williams5]

Jane Austen, hands down

[stoppoppingtheP]

I think I would choose Adriana Trigiani, my all time favorite author. The way she weaves her words is just magical.

[EPark]

Stephen King or J.K. Rowling would be my choices, both because their writing is so detailed and comes to life so vividly in the reader's imagination. I think that's what creates the most powerful writing, and I would be very interested in learning more about their processes.
