Class Experience

Beginner Level
This fun and interactive writing workshop will teach the 3 key building blocks that your child needs to craft his/her own magical story.  This class will be a one-time zoom meeting that will provide students with the opportunity to ask questions, share their ideas and bounce ideas off with the group.  

The 3 key building blocks that we will review together are:
1. Character Development
2. Setting
3. Conflict

Throughout the workshop, your child will also participate in fun and interactive writing prompts to get the creative juices flowing.  My teaching style is fun and open and will provide ample time for students to try their hand at writing their own magical story and share with the class if so desired.

Learning Goals

By the end of this workshop, students will be have a basic understanding of the 3 key building blocks of creating their own magical story and how to apply them to their own magical story idea:

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello and welcome to the magical world of writing!  My name is Melissa Kuch and I am the author of the Amazon bestselling YA fantasy/adventure series "The Hypothesis of Giants." 

I first realized that I wanted to become a writer when I read my short story in front of my 3rd grade class. I knew at that moment that I wanted to become a writer and years later I had the opportunity to dedicate my first novel to my 3rd grade teacher who inspired me and instilled the love of writing in me at a young age.  

Today I am an advocate for literacy and continue to inspire the next generation of authors through my writing workshop and mentoring programs. I was nominated as one of the Best Authors of Long Island and have also been the keynote speaker for 2019 and 2023’s Genre Con and a panelist for the Ozark Book Con. I have taught hundreds of students over the past ten years across the Tri-State area and now I am looking forward to teaching your child about the magic of writing!  I can't wait to inspire your child to get started on this wonderful and exciting writing journey.
