Parental Guidance
While the class is designed to foster creativity and strategic thinking through the creation of D&D adventures, it's worth noting that Dungeons & Dragons often deals with fantasy combat and potentially frightening creatures. However, all content in this class will be tailored to be age-appropriate and we will steer clear of overly graphic or disturbing themes. No third-party tools requiring personal accounts will be used in this class, and all online collaboration will be guided and supervised to ensure a safe and respectful environment.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a full time author of middle grade books and a journalist. I have written hundreds of books and articles on all sorts of topics, many related to writing and publishing. I have also taught writing and publishing at professional conferences all over the country. I really feel the love of reading of books and of writing begins when we are young, and so I want to share that spark the same way it was shared with me by my teachers. I love to build miniatures, 3D print and I'm a D&D nerd all the back to the 80s!
