Campamento de escritura creativa para escritores serios

Writing a good story often requires creativity and natural-born talent. Writing an excellent story requires an understanding of key elements of the craft. This camp dives deeper into the concepts studied in my class, "Creative Writing Camp," but that camp is NOT a prerequisite. 

Students can work on creating a new story as homework throughout this camp, or they can work on revising previous stories.

Students will also receive feedback on stories they choose to submit.
