Jonathan Law’s new Advanced Creative Writing class is currently working on its first anthology “Trust the Process.”

The class currently consists of 18 student writers, working on three stories each. Student stories go through a pre-writing phase, drafting phase, and a revising phase; each story is revised five times before a final submission.

“I like the challenge of helping students shape and mold their ideas,” Advanced Creative Writing teacher Mr. Healy said. “It’s amazing when you see a student’s initial idea turn into an amazing story.”

This publication will contain a span of genres and topics, including mental illness, race, life and death, and love. The stories range from fantasy, realistic fiction, action, humor, and dystopian literature.

“I enjoy being able to pick any genre, the style I write my stories, and how long I can make stories,” senior Lindsaylee Buskey-Maud said.

The book will cost $20 and is currently on pre-sale. If interested, Healy and his students are taking orders.

It will be on sale through Barnes and Noble and Amazon in June.

“Creative outlets are so important for our students and the support of the community means a tremendous amount,” Healy said. “And, who knows, maybe it will inspire readers to express themselves.”
