Whether you’re writing fiction or nonfiction, your readers want to be touched, moved, and inspired by your story. Readers want to escape their reality and be transported into an imaginary world. They want to see the possibilities in transforming their lives and being part of something bigger than themselves. Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, it’s your job to give your readers what they want. But how do you give the reader a satisfying experience that delivers everything they’re expecting? How do you take your words and transport the reader into your experience so that they’re not just reading words on a page, but instead they feel as if they are part of your story? The key to transporting your reader into the story is the emotion. Every class starts with a lecture then turns interactive to engage learners in conversation and class participation. Questions and discussion are encouraged.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Oral Roberts University
I'm a published author who developed these creative writing techniques when I started teaching an elective course at my kids' school over 10 years ago. I found that the novel writing books on the market held too much information for teens who just wanted to write their book, so I created one that is fun.
"All writers, regardless of their age or level, need to understand the nuances of story, the layers of a character, how to put a scene together as well as how to wordsmith their stories. Enter Gina Conroy's terrifically fun and creative course for teens-Release the Novel in You! From its engaging and fun presentation, delightful acronyms, playful look at analyzing a story and application sections, it takes the rules out writing and turns it back into what it should be—fun! Practical and specific, it covers everything from story structure to characterization, to the hero's journey to writing fixes—everything an intermediate writer needs to take their story from an idea on the page to a novel." - Susan May Warren, Award-winning novelist and writing coach Reviews
