Students will acquire the skills to turn their stories into literary masterpieces. They'll stretch their creativity while learning to use setting, plot, and character development in a variety of genres. They'll also come away with an understanding of publishing and how to become an author.

As a Young Adult author, I've travelled to schools all over the U.S. discussing my books, publishing, and creative writing with students. I've also taught high school English and elementary school. Kids have extraordinary creative gifts--imagination, fearlessness, tenacity--and I love being a part of their development.
