Interested in creative writing, developing characters / imaginative worlds, storytelling, communication, reading comprehension, human connection, comedy, drama, english, poetry, arts, or all of the above? Then, this interactive and immersive weekly club is the place for you! 

Each week we take a fun-filled and imaginative journey into the world of creative writing to develop learners' enthusiasm, confidence, self-expression, critical thinking skills, emotional intelligence, passion for writing, and so much more. 

My goal is to create a comfortable, social, non-competitive, and empowering environment that ensures delving into the creative writing process and weekly club experience is educational, engaging, memorable, and most importantly - oh, so much fun!

All levels of experience are welcome. A learner can join creative writing club (or take a hiatus from the club) at ANY time, as the classes do NOT build upon each other. 

Enroll in this valuable ongoing club to learn about the writer's tools, and experience helpful creative and emotional growth - both on and off the page!

Creative Writing Club is led by an award-winning / critically acclaimed screenwriter. As a SAG/AFTRA/AEA Creative Artist with over 2 decades of professional experience in television, film, live theatre, commercials, and radio - I believe that creative expression helps inspire learners to grow as individuals with increased compassion, social awareness, and the enhanced ability to celebrate diversity within their communities. I have been teaching numerous styles and elements of creative writing / acting / voice / dance, life skills, yoga (various disciplines), and meditation / mindfulness techniques to children and adults since the age of 16. In addition, I am a trained Wellness (Health) + Life Coach. 

With that said, this creative writing experience is meant to be fun-filled! As a child and adult that has lived experience with her own ADHD... it has always taken me some more time and practice than my colleagues to focus and retain information. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to me that this creative writing club be about smiles, creativity, confidence building, and enjoying the writing process while we interact with friends!

A Few Tips For A Successful Class...

⭐️ Please ensure all learners knows how to mute + unmute themselves.

⭐️ Siblings are more than welcome, however each learner must be individually enrolled in the class.

⭐️ Water IS encouraged throughout every class that I teach.

⭐️ Only the registered learner is permitted to be on-camera. 

⭐️ If there is anything you feel I should be aware of about your child before the start of class, please message me privately. I respond to all private messages within 24 hours.

⭐️ No previous creative writing experience is necessary for this class.  

⭐️ I do my very best to ensure all material covered in this class is age appropriate. With that said, some creative writing exercises in class are improvisational in manner, and I am mindful to not censor the students' content unless it is offensive or excessively violent.
