Students will learn how to create a sustained narrative and common craft skills related to longer works of fiction.

FOR THE AMBITIOUS: Sometimes your student will be asked to revise scenes or make notes for future revisions. We may pick a novel to use as a model and examine the plot devices or craft tools being used in the story. Each week we will write, read out loud what we've written, and plan for what comes next. Most of my students wind up completing the draft of a novel or novella in less than a year. Some are as young as twelve years old. 

I also teaches strong analysis skills to my students which will, of course, strengthen their reading comprehension and retention. 

I've been acting as a book doctor to professional authors and younger writers for over eight years now.  Writers form a highly engaged relationship with me during this process. While we remain goal oriented, at the same time, I ensure the student writer is stimulated and yet feels secure as I guide them. It's a journey we take together: one in which students will learn novel writing tools as needed.

Success lies in writing the entire story in your head, no matter the length or the quality.  Once you've written a story, the draft of a novel, or something in between, you'll have so much more confidence writing in setting out to write the next one. 

I will work with the student to assign achievable goals that can be accomplished in addition to other life activities and school work.
