Description
Class Experience
Students will discover what happens to suspense and plot when a foe is not quite formidable enough, and why antagonists are crucial in compelling fiction. They'll learn how to free their villains from predictable ruts, and most importantly, how to incorporate what they've learned in future storylines.
As a Young Adult author, I've travelled to dozens of schools discussing my books, publishing, and creative writing with students. I've also taught high school English and elementary school.
