As an English Comparative Literature major at San Diego State University, I am also pursuing a career in Creative Writing. I am in the process of writing my own novel soon to be published. I am partic... ipating in a Creative Writing credential program alongside a minor in Interdisciplinary Studies. I have taken several Creative Writing courses and lessons which have taught me the best way to help people improve their writing. Finally, I'm involved in a summer internship at Alpha Book Publishing, where I am gaining experience in the publishing industry as well. During these lessons, we will go through a step-by-step process of understanding your writing. First, we will dive into your plot idea and how it can be expanded upon through your writing. As a writer, you will be mentioning the points of your story that are influential to the plot and we will find different ways to add subplot points around them. In each lesson, I will provide feedback and suggestions to not only help you write but also get published.read more

Hello! I'm Jessica Johnson, born and raised in Orange County, California! I love to explore the beaches and hiking trails around my hometown as well as in different parts of California. I run half mar... athons quite frequently ever since I got into it seven years ago. Currently, I'm a Writing Mentor for the Rhetorical Writing Studies Department at San Diego State University. I love helping students with the step-by-step process of writing and editing essays. I've explored different writing techniques such as rhetorical analysis, contextual analysis, research, and text analysis papers. My favorite part is helping my students revise their papers through 1:1 conferences. I believe that the only way to succeed through tutoring is by a mutual connection between the tutor and the student. During our first few meetings, I will make an effort to get to know my students as individuals by learning their interests and hobbies to help the learning experience run smoothly. As your tutor, I hope to provide an engaging environment for everyone involved.read more
