**Get the first class for 50% off using coupon code: OFIMAFANTASTIC10 ** DESCRIPTION We will begin by reviewing the basics of Fantasy Writing. Then learners will follow prompts to write a creative piece, OR students can work on an idea they already have in mind. Then, learners can read a section out loud for the group. If anyone would like extra feedback, they can submit their work to me for my comments. This class will be a mix of instructor knowledge and tips through slides, students interacting with each other, and everyone enjoying a mini open mic. Students of all levels are welcome. Each week I will post in the classroom with a few options for writing topics. Learners will then vote for the one they are most interested in for that week. I am a positive and passionate instructor who believes that a writer is one who writes! All that is required is a genuine interest in Fantasy Writing. Come with an open and creative mind to enjoy this special way to unlock the imagination. MISSION Guild of Imagination pride ourselves on being an inclusive environment for all learners around the world to find and tell their stories. Our Dungeon Masters have experience working with at-risk, queer and neurodiverse learners and aim to craft an environment where young people of all backgrounds can feel safe and have fun. We believe role-playing games are a great way to bring people from all walks of life together to form friendships for a lifetime. GUILD OF IMAGINATION RANKS Scholar (Orange) This type of class is good for learners that love fantasy and creative writing. This class is great for both experienced and new writers. REFUNDS While your learner is enrolled in this class we will provide a 50% refund, or transfer to another section in the same week (if available), with 24 hours notice of an upcoming absence. This will save a learner's spot in the class for a meeting they can't attend. You may also withdraw at any time or use the pause function, though these 2 options will not save your learner's seat.
