Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 12
In this one-on-one ongoing course, we will work on the student's stories (shorts, chapter books, novellas, novels, and screenplays). Each week we will tackle different pages and different issues depending on what the student wishes to work on. 

Completed Short Stories, Novels, Screenplays - If the student has finished their story, we will work on editing and rewriting a draft of their story. Plot structure, characters, conflict, emotional arcs, and some grammar will be covered. 

In Progress Short Stories, Novels, Screenplays - If the student is currently working on a story and wants feedback, we will work on editing what they have written so far focusing on plot structure, characters, conflict, emotional arcs, and some grammar will be covered. 

Writer's Block In Progress Short Stories, Novels, Screenplays - If the student has a story they have gotten stuck on and don't know where to go, we will look over what has been written so far and try to see how to "fix" the story so they can finish their story. 

Haven't Started Short Stories, Novels, Screenplays - If the student has an idea or wants to write a story, we will work on plotting, character building, setting, and style to get them ready to write. 

I also offer this class in 55 minute sessions. You can find it here: https://outschool.com/classes/creative-writing-one-on-one-book-coaching-for-writing-and-editing-ixTfYKx0?usid=k5hGyGpE&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link
