Students will be able to improve their short-stories and novels based in a post-apocalyptic setting. 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.
Pencil, paper, or the ability to write in a text document on their computer or laptop.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I will encourage students to keep the stories appropriate for our classroom and will give writing prompts to guide them in the right direction.
