Students will learn how to work with:
- The Five Elements of Literature (plot, character, conflict, setting, and theme)
- Revising, Editing, and Publishing (these are broad brushstroke lessons, as each of these topics is worth a separate course)
They will walk away with their own writing techniques and strategies for solving writing problems. Many writers leave the class feeling more confident in their writing skills, sharing their work, and giving feedback to other writers. The ultimate goal is to learn to enjoy the process of creating, because, as writers, this is a lifelong endeavor!

While I am not a licensed therapist, I am trained in trauma-informed social emotional learning and mindfulness. I use this training to mitigate harm, provide an inclusive, social justice aware, and supportive environment, and hold space for sensitive topics that may arise.

숙제 제공
Writers are encouraged to work on their projects outside of class as they feel inspired. However, checking in and expanding on their work every day for at least 10 minutes is a good habit to get into. Writers must bring their ideas and something to share to each class meeting (1-2 pages for each class session is recommended). Writers may also set aside time to go through the modules between classes. They are also welcome to use the co-working space to do them.
