A master of the horror genre, Bob is a prolific author of more than 300 books for middle graders and young adults, which have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide and have garnered numerous awards.

“I have written a lot of scary books, but the process of writing those books wasn’t scary,” Bob says. “You can create your own universe and control people in that universe—you can make them funny or you can scare them. In my MasterClass, I hope to show students that writing doesn’t have to be scary; and in fact, it can be a lot of fun.”

In his online writing class, Bob teaches you about:
• Generating ideas
• Creating monsters
• Conquering writer’s block
• Outlining surprise endings and cliffhangers
• Outlining plot twists and tricks
• Writing for different age levels
• Dialogue and prose style
• Mixing horror and humor
• Creating middle-grade characters
• Creating YA characters
• Revising and getting feedback
• Developing a book series
• Writing as a career
