Trusted teacher: Promotion until December 31: Price includes VAT + welcome package worth Articles, books, columns, film scripts, press releases, radio spots, reviews, TV screenplays and simply copywriting with SEO: most of us have tried to squeeze one or more of these types of writing out of the (virtual) pen. Yet it turns out that it is not always easy to deliver good texts. One has great ideas, but cannot convert them into (digital or otherwise) ink; the other is creative, but makes too many spelling mistakes; and a third kind of person is a linguistic Nazi, but fails to come up with fluid, natural-feeling dialogues. The writing course of Badass Intensive Courses - an initiative of Badass PR - offers a solution. Our writing course Our course covers all possible texts and can be followed both privately and in a small group. Moreover, we mainly teach you what you are interested in. During our first meeting we will discuss your goals in detail, after which we will focus the entire course on what you exactly want and need. All ages and levels are welcome with us, so we welcome you with open arms even if you have no experience at all or especially need tutoring! About our coach To be sure: our head coach is at home in all markets. He wrote his first book, the science fantasy Ice, the Lost Planet, when he was 11. The novel was published three years later, which earned Dirk his city's cultural merit prize and items on almost all national TV and radio stations, as well as articles in every leading newspaper and a large number of magazines. Dirk later also became the very first Flemish author whose books he himself had pinned in English were published by American publishers: Fates Worse than Death: Hunter by Vajra Enterprises and Baour, Strands of Death by BlackWyrm Publishing. In between Dirk became a journalist. He wrote - or still writes - for 'fanzines', magazines, newspapers and websites such as Zita, Skynet, The Fighting Bard, Mandragon, Dreun, Mindview, Keys & Chords, Bello Magazine, De Zondag, Doorgelicht.be, MetalBorn, BeauSense Magazine, PDF'zines, GameJunks, Rpg.net, the Delta Gids, Cerberus, Cerberus Too, Cerberus Food & Lifestyle, Wellness Insight, Care Insight, Move On, Cult of Cool, Cult of Chic and Cult of Design. Thanks to his wide range of interests, he could go just about anywhere to write passionately about his favorite topics, but there is more. Dirk wrote hundreds of press releases for PR agency Oskaar and later for his own PR agency, Badass PR - mainly for films, television series, the hospitality industry and various charities. He also provides numerous newsletters and social media for his clients. Dirk has been a coach since he was twenty - when he was still studying psychology at the KUL - and has written several film and short film scripts as an acting teacher and screenwriter. Numerous radio spots have also rolled out of his brain. The most startling assignment, however, came when Modiphius Entertainment - the largest independent producer and distributor of role plays in the world - recruited him to provide the film script and audio play for Achtung! Cthulhu to write. They were so well received that he is currently playing the complete audio series of Achtung! Cthulhu is finishing. In addition, he is busy with Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game, which has been delayed due to the fact that the second film was released much later than expected, problems with the film productions, the death of one of the two main writers and the corona crisis. , but will be released next year at the largest role-playing convention in the world, Gen Con in Indianapolis. About you During our writing course, it goes without saying that it is not about us, but about you and your writing! Few things we enjoy as much as watching someone progress and live their passions. That is why we often go a step further after class and continue to support you, whatever texts you want to write! Please note: the prices shown here for 'at the student's home' are private prices; the prices for 'at the teacher's home' are our prices per hour for those who buy a twenty-session ticket and apply to both our online lessons and our live lessons in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent and Leuven.

We’ll begin with sessions on the fundamentals of playwrighting including: Character Dialogue Structure Subtext Theatricality Then I’ll support you every step of the way in drafting your play, after which we’ll look at the best places to send your work and discuss strategies for building a sustainable career as a Playwright.

Dr S Iyer
Superb experience with Dr S Iyer. Very easy to schedule, responsive, preparation before class and follow up after class. He helped my child understand concepts that were unclear, he has profound knowledge of the subject, he knows how to get my child interested and it helps to learn when one is engaged, I was present in the room during parts of the lessons and I could see he cares about my child liking what he is teaching, but is also focused on making sure she gets it. Via zoom it is very easy to have the lesson. Thank you very much Dr. S Iyer!
