Welcome to the Writer's Toolbox! Single session discussion classes here to help students develop and refine their creative writing skills while expanding the depths of their imaginations. In this genre studies class, we talk about fantasy, the genre that pulls from the deepest parts of our imaginations. Fantasy comes in many forms, whether it's a unique world filled with elves and demons or just a dream of a better life. Here we'll talk about prophecies, miracles, and magic. This is an open structured class. We'll start with introductions and discuss our favorite things about fantasy and creative goals. Depending on what topics come up, will determine what lectures, tips, and discussion points I'll go into. Lessons can range from would building, filmmaking tips, how to create a proper magic system, and anything else that may pop up. The last part of the class will be open for students to share ideas, get more specific advice on the things they may be working on, or just discuss things they still want to see and explore with fantasy.
Learning Goals
Students will get to learn the basics of storytelling, magic and power systems, and fun facts about the fantasy genre.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Not only have I been a professional writer and filmmaker for two decades now, but I also happen to be a genre specialist. I co-founded a production company that was designed to create content in every and all genres and therefore had to learn everything I could about every genre that came our way.
Fantasy happens to be one of my favorite genres and the one I spend the most time working in.
