About

Hey everyone! This is my first series as a tutor in schoolhouse, and I am thrilled to start my journey here with you guys.

In this session, I want to introduce all of you to the world of writing fiction. So, if any one of you here ever felt like you wanted to write something like your favorite authors, but never knew where to begin, then this is the place for you.

Together, we will work through the basics of writing fiction in a fun and hands-on way. Join us now!! 😀

PS: I will add more sessions as we go, for now just join up!
