It’s 2018 and your New Year’s Resolution is to finally start that novel you’ve always wanted to write. Congratulations! Now what? The first thing you should do is sign up for this class. Even if you only have an idea or a character in your head, this class will help demystify the writing experience so you can keep that resolution. You’ll learn how to create characters that leap off the page and develop plots that capture the imagination. No matter what type of fiction you write, this class is a perfect start for the beginning writer.

Sarah J. Schmitt is a K-8 school librarian and Youth Service Professional for Teens at a public library who, in addition to planning a variety of events, enjoys opening up the world of books to reluctant readers. She runs a teen writing program that combines Skype visits from well-known authors and screenwriters and critique group style feedback.

Prior to immersing herself in the world of the written word, Sarah earned her Masters of Science in Higher Education Administration and Student Affairs from Indiana University where she worked with first year college students as they acclimated to college life. Sarah lives outside of Indianapolis with her husband, two kidlets and a cat who might actually be a secret agent. She is an active member of SCBWI, ALA and the Indiana Library Federation and is a regular participant at the Midwest Writer’s Workshop.  IT’S A WONDERFUL DEATH is her debut novel.
