The perfect space for tweens and teens who love to write and tell stories, but need a place to share the pitfalls and triumphs of doing so! I'm a full time author with sixteen books for young people available in over twenty languages worldwide. I've spoke in countless schools, taught many camps, seminars, clubs, and classes, and talked with hundreds (thousands?) of young authors across the world. In doing so, I've discovered that there's one particularly pervasive, troublesome lie about...
- Students will meet like-minded peers who love writing, creativity, and books.
- Students will be able to ask questions of a professional author on everything from the writing process to the publishing industry.
I am the author of fifteen books for tweens and teens, and have taught creative writing classes across the world at schools, libraries, colleges, and camps.
Assessment

While conversations will always be age-appropriate, please note that some students may want advice or guidance on stories dealing with sensitive issues. Below are my general classroom rules and policies. These will also be explained to students when we begin class! -For everyone's safety, and to ensure an engaging and social experience, students are required to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned such that we can both hear and see them. -Students are asked not to use filters or virtual backgrounds-- though if there is an important reason to use a virtual background, please just let me know ahead of time that your student will be using one (no questions asked!). -Students will be asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, pronoun, and a favorite book. -The Zoom text chat is set to "host only", meaning students can chat with me, but not to one another or the entire classroom.
