Intermediate Level
If you love writing fiction and want to know how to create a fully rounded story (or even write a book!) then this class is for you!

This class is taught in English.
I am a published author of eight books for children and young adults. I am also an editor of both fiction and non-fiction books and have a long clientele list. I am also an official proofreader for students of two UK universities. As such, I know exactly how to create stories that people will want to read and have many years of experience in sharing that knowledge.

You will need a dedicated notebook and pen ready for each lesson. All handouts will be provided by me and uploaded before each lesson.
Learners will need to be fluent English speakers, readers and writers to get the best outcome from this class. There will be a lot of class discussion so please prepare your child for this as it will help them immensely if they are able to fully participate.

I will, on occasion, need to mute the class so that the lesson can move forwards. I will let the class know when this is happening and why.
