Are you an aspiring author with stories to tell? Do you have worlds of characters who go on adventures or have dramatic experiences? Have you started writing your novel, but don't know what to do next? I am here to help! With over 10 years of editing experience, I have worked with thousands of aspiring young authors, offering valuable feedback in revising and editing their works. Some have even become published authors and sold copies of their books! If you have a story to share and want it to be share-worthy, I can help you reach your author-writing goals. CLASS FORMAT: Initial meeting (manuscript will be sent to teacher prior to meeting): ~get to know each other ~hear about your story and what your goals are for your writing ~establish a timeline for editing - how many meetings we will have to follow-up on edits (depending on length of manuscript) - how long it will take between meetings (depending on learner's availability to review edits) - when we will meet next to review the edits Follow-up meetings (number will vary based on agreed plan): ~go through any questions the learner or teacher has about edits and work through revisions together that need more guidance Edits and revisions of manuscript will be completed on a shared Google document with suggesting mode and added comments in the margins. Rate includes: 30 minutes of editing manuscript outside of class by teacher + 30-minute live meeting to discuss suggested edits and revisions. Ratio of time spent editing per meeting can be adjusted based on length of manuscript and deadline of completing project.
Learning Goals
Learner will learn how to become an established author of their creative story.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
