Meet the Instructor:Jamie Hughes is a fantasy writer for the stage and film, with a particular interest in how stories can make us reevaluate and change cultural norms. He has a BA in Creative Writing and Film from Emory University, where he gained experience in set coordination, lighting/audio design and film editing and has an MFA in Writing for the Performing Arts from The University of California, Riverside where he directed several short films and plays.
