Students will be able to improve their short-stories and novels based in a world where magic and wizards are real.  We will create unique and believable stories and think critically about how to improve.  We will discuss how to create an engaging beginning, stronger characters, an immersive world and exciting plot points.

I graduated with a bachelor's degree in creative writing and literature from Western Kentucky University.  I am experienced in hosting and participating in creative-writing workshops and studied under many well-known, published professors at my university whose expertise was in the "horror" and "fantasy" genre.
