Hello! My name is Ms. Anne, and I teach creative writing courses on Outschool. 


My qualifications and experience: 

- BA in Creative Writing (Purchase College)
- Winner of the Ginny Wray Senior Prize in Fiction (Purchase College)
- MS in Human Development and Family Science (NDSU)
- English as a second language (ESL) online tutor: I have taught hundreds of students from all over the world!


My classes: 

If you love books, have a wild imagination, and want to learn how to write stories of your own, you’ve come to the right place! My classes are also great for experienced writers looking for guidance on topics like writing believable characters, bringing their settings to life, or editing their work. In my classes, we will review writing tips and strategies, and then put them into practice with writing exercises and prompts. Be prepared to get creative, learn new skills, and have fun with your fellow writers!


My teaching philosophy: 

I lead my classes with patience, positivity, and encouragement. I am passionate about online education and the many opportunities it offers for connection and engagement, and strive to make my classes fun and educational. I hope to inspire kids and teens to write, read, imagine, and create with confidence! 


Fun facts:

I live in New York with my two pugs, who often visit my classes to say hello and meet my students! I have too many favorite books to list here, but I especially love scary and magical stories like Coraline by Neil Gaiman, Doll Bones by Holly Black, and Small Spaces by Katherine Arden.


Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you!
