Why I teach the foundations
of fiction writing
I’m Michelle. I’m a short story writer who holds a Bachelor’s degree in creative writing.
I teach the foundations of creative fiction writing to writers just starting out, looking to get published, or somewhere in between. I’m bringing my teaching practice online so I can reach more writers just like you, and we can all grow our craft together.
Plus, you won’t need to sit through four years of school and go into student debt just to be able to write a decent story if you stick around here.

If your characters aren’t round, relatable, and realistic, your story is likely to fall flat. You can strategically plan out your characters, their traits, and their roles in a story to help create a cohesive cast of characters that your readers will latch on to. That’s why it’s important to understand the different types of characters in literature.
