In this 8-week course, aspiring authors will learn to develop plot, setting, and characters to create their own literary masterpieces.

Students will acquire the skills to turn their stories into literary masterpieces. They'll stretch their creativity while learning to use setting, plot, and character development in a variety of genres. They'll also come away with an understanding of publishing and how to become an author.
As a Young Adult author, I've travelled to schools all over the U.S. discussing my books, publishing, and creative writing with students. I've also taught high school English and elementary school. Kids have extraordinary creative gifts--imagination, fearlessness, tenacity--and I love being a part of their development.
I provide the syllabus and learning materials. Students don't need to purchase anything. Students may write their stories on the computer or by hand--I know authors who do both! If they're assignments are completed by hand they can take pictures (or scan) and send them to me.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
