Law’s Advanced Creative Writing class is working on publishing its annual book. 

Each year, the Advanced Creative Writing class takes short stories that students write and creates a book. This book gets published and is available for sale. 

“’Seniorwritis’ is a collection of short stories all written by student authors,” Advanced Creative Writing teacher Mr. Healy said.

The class produces a variety of different stories and pieces each year. 

“Every year we have a completely new batch of stories,” Healy said. “So far this year we have a fantasy quest, an allegorical lesson about witch hunts and environmental destruction, a physiological thriller about a man possessed by his ancestors, and a cautionary tale against materialism, among others.”

Each story has its own reward. Students who have their stories published in a book feel a sense of pride and feel more confident as a writer. 

“It is so rewarding to have a piece written in a book,” senior Advanced Creative Writing student Sophie Maselli said. “I’ve had a love of books since I was young, with the ideal occupation of being an author, so I am over the moon to now have the opportunity for my own short story to be published in our class’ book.”

Students in Advanced Creative Writing experience a different look at stories, characters, and plots. Publishing a book of their work allows for a new and fun way of learning for students in class.

Maselli said she loved the process of writing her story that will appear in “Seniorwritis.”

“I’ve really enjoyed my writing journey so far,” Maselli said. “I’ve always loved to write, so being able to watch my work go into a published book is truly enrapturing.”
