About the Class: 
Learn how to ‘meet’ (create) a new character, and get to know them inside and out as you let them guide your story. We will specifically touch on internal conflict, dialogue, and how setting affects characters. Be prepared to imagine, write, discuss, and edit. Most students will leave with a completed short story.

Claire Gilchrist has an M.A. in language and an M.A. in linguistics. Claire teaches middle school and has taught writing for a decade. She has published two books for middle grade readers.
