Students will learn how to lay the groundwork for building their own worlds that can be used for writing or gaming projects. They will learn world building skills as well as how to set the scene for their own unique storytelling projects. These techniques can be used in creating and publishing their own gaming modules as well as writing their own books. I also teach a basic one-shot Storyboarding 101 class that focuses on writing and walks students through the Heroes Journey more in-depth. 

Having been a fiction writer for 38 years, I love creating worlds from the ground up. As a professional illustrator, having the ability to actual see the layout for what I’ve created adds depth and makes my stories richer. I can see my protagonist’s path, the road blocks they have to overcome, places to hide or for the perfect ambush, long traveled roads and new paths blazed. The more senses you can involve in a story, the deeper your reader is immersed, and I’m always up for a good adventure!

I have a listed of suggested reading materials that I will provide for future reference. I also like to say, “Once my student, always my student.” and am happy to answer student questions through parent contact after the class is closed.
