This engaging introductory class—which briefly looks at fourteen novel-writing tips—will walk your student through the process of writing a complete novel or short story. I am also preparing to teach an upcoming 6-week course (one class per week) that will dig deeper into each of those 14 tips! This single, one-hour session, however, will provide VERY helpful insights to aid your student during their writing journey, while helping you and your student determine if the expanded 6-week course would be a good add-on. As a teacher, I enjoy lighthearted engagement and building confidence in the minds and hearts of students. There's also more to writing than the "know-hows"; there's the need to foster imagination and draw from life's experiences. One of the ways that I aim to teach is by example: I intend to have an example or two from recently published, first-time authors, revealing some stumbles that they had along the way. There are no student prerequisites for this class. However, if a student has already begun the writing journey on his/her own, it may be an encouragement for the other students to hear a little bit about that accomplishment.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
I am an award-winning author of four suspense novels. (My current work in progress is a Cold War story about a family's attempt to escape from East Germany to the West.) Also, I'm an avid reader of various kinds of fiction: epic fantasy, geo-political thrillers, coming-of-age stories, contemporary & historical, faith-based, literary, young-adult (YA), sci-fi, but I also enjoy true stories, biographies, and educational books. Additionally, I currently co-chair a state-wide authors group that meets bi-monthly throughout the year.
