Overview

Hello! Our names are Hannah and Alecz! This class is going to be offering information on certain topics in short story writing, such as point of view, tense, introducing your story and your characters, how to use dialogue and dialect, and how to end your story. We’ll also be going through some basic grammar rules that will help to improve your writing and allow your story to flow smoothly with little error. In those videos, we will be covering how to format dialogue and how to use commas, semi-colons, colons, and dashes.
