A Single-Day Novel-Writing Class with an Award-Winning Novelist!

This engaging introductory class (one to six students)—which briefly looks at fourteen novel-writing tips—will walk your student through the process of writing a complete novel or short story. I also aim to teach a 6-week course (one class per week) that will dig deeper into each of those 14 tips! This single, one-hour session, will provide VERY helpful insights to aid your student during his/her writing journey, while helping you to determine if your student should take the expanded 6-week course.

As a teacher, I enjoy lighthearted engagement and building confidence in the minds and hearts of students. There's also more to writing than the "know-hows"; there's the need to foster imagination and draw from life's experiences. 

One of the ways that I aim to teach is by example: I intend to have an example or two from recently published, first-time authors, revealing some stumbles that they had along the way.

There are no student prerequisites for this class. However, if a student has already begun the writing journey on his/her own, it may be an encouragement for other students to hear a little bit about that accomplishment.
