Brandon Sanderson has recorded his entire Brigham Young University creative writing course and posted it free on YouTube. One of the most commercially successful fantasy authors alive, he teaches plot, character, setting, and the business of publishing with a practical, engineer-like clarity that works beyond fantasy. He's refreshingly clear that there's no single right way to write, and he explains the tools rather than the rules. Watch a lecture a week and write alongside it.
