What our students say
"Adam is a fantastic teacher, and I'm learning more than I had expected so far. However, I would be remiss if I did not mention the networking. I've made so many friends that we have sworn to always help each other out and stick together as a group. This wouldn't have happened without Adam mentoring us and promoting forming relationships."
"I just finished the Comic Book Writing course with Adam Beechen, which was thoroughly enjoyable and helpful. The classes were well-planned and engaging, the guest speakers from the comics world were fantastic. For a beginner like me, as well as for those with some comics experience, this class was very useful. Adam is also very open and available to help with the assignments and answer questions. By the end of the course, I had written a complete 20 page comics script which is amazing to me, since I had never done this before. I highly recommend this class."

"Greeted with such humility and grace..if you are serious about writing comics, Comic Book Writing with Adam Beechen is the way to go. Talking about a team, not only was he funny and engaging but he took the time to be delicate with us, with our fears, doubts and misunderstandings. I started the class having the fear of stepping out of my comfort zone, reaching out to other creators, and airplanes, to now flying to California for an event in October, to meet a writer who've I've become oh so inspired by. There is no more fear that I have, instead I challenge it. That's what this class does. They speak with grace, and prepare you for what you will experience with full transparency, positioning you to grow with fullness. They don't run from fear but challenge it head on. The students were great and even when some weren't, which most of the class was unaware of, they addressed it with diligence and set the tone for the class. Most didn't know because we were all busy forming good relationships something they encouraged us to do...but if you want to become a writer and to grow in character just as a person...it's here...even from the staff on the phone to the progress manager, I might have got that wrong but everyone was wonderful. A line that will forever stick with me from Adam Beechen is "you gotta have perseverance...how bad do you really want it. And I ask you the same."

"The instructors and ELVTR staff made this class and the other students in it into a COMMUNITY (vs a cut-throat type situation) and encouraged us to work together was incredible. We've forged professional relationships and friendships out of this and that alone is also incredible for the instructors and ELVTR to foster!"
"I had read quite a few books before joining this course, so I expected it to be more of a refresher. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I've learned from the examples Adam shared with us. The Q&A sessions at the end of each class are fantastic, and the guest speakers have been incredibly inspiring."

"I am writing a review for Elvtr’s COMIC BOOK WRITING COURSE. I took the course on a whim. I do not regret it. Adam Beechen taught it. The TA for the class was Scott Gray. Both individuals are seasoned writing professionals. Adam and Scott combined plethora of industry experience served to make the class exciting and enjoyable. The teacher Adam Beechen embodied a balanced set of helpfulness and professionalism during his lectures. Adam cared a lot about helping us learn core comic book-making concepts and career fundamentals in the industry. Scott provided keen insight, complementing Adam’s lessons during office hours. The Elvtr support team was helpful in the journey as well. They provided consistent support in class enrollment and during classes. I enjoyed the class a lot and am wondering which course I'll take next with Elvtr."
