Learn tips and tricks to level up your creative writing from the #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of over 50 books! This class will cover how to better every facet of your creative writing. Start with whatever creative writing experience you have, and we'll grow from there! I'm passionate and enthusiastic, and you can expect a vibrant class full of fun and practical examples. I'm also a visual learner with a love for video editing so this self-paced, six-week class is sure to grab the attention of even reluctant learners.  

CLASS STRUCTURE:
- six-week, self-paced class

WHAT YOU NEED?

RESOURCES
During the plot portion of the class, I mention the Plot Dot: A Simple 8-Step Guide To Writing Unforgettable Fiction & Writing A Book Readers Love by Derek Murphy. This book is not necessary for the course, but simply additional reading on plot structure for interested students.
