Students will learn the components of compelling storytelling. They will gain an understanding of how to create suspenseful scenes and settings that produce a reaction in their readers.
I'm an award-winning author of seven historical/paranormal novels for teens and adults, including IN THE SHADOW OF BLACKBIRDS, which was named a Bram Stoker Award Nominee for Superior Achievement in Young Adult Fiction and was one of Booklist's 2013 Top 10 Horror Fiction for Youth.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
While this is a class geared toward spookier writing topics, I'll encourage students to avoid sharing scenes of graphic horror to be mindful of other students.
