All You Need To Create Great Stories
You Control Your Stories
Unlike other courses where you learn a single right way of solving a problem, you control every aspect of your story.
You decide what your story will be about. You decide your characters, their challenges, their opponents. You decide how the plot will go. You try out alternate endings and decide which one you want. The only right solution is the one you make..
These courses make writing fun. All the emphasis is on creating interesting and engaging stories, not following some strict formula. You’ll learn how to create characters that are complex, with their own goals and motivations. Your plots will keep things moving so your reader can’t stop finding out what happens next. The dialogue will reveal character and ideas. The setting will make the reader live right in the story, including feeling the mood of the situation.
In short, you will learn how to make your stories feel real, even if they’re set in outer space or in a fantasy land or in your own corner of the universe.
Courses for High School, Middle School, and Upper Elementary
Discuss Your Ideas and Questions
Have an idea and want to see what everyone else thinks? Have a question about something in your story? Want to get advice? Want to help others with their stories?
Forums let you talk about whatever’s on your mind about anything related to storytelling. You have an encouraging, supportive environment of others learning to write stories to bounce off your ideas, your concerns, celebrate your accomplishments, and ask detailed questions.
Once you’re ready, you can share your story with other members to get detailed feedback. The feedback form asks about all aspects of your story, from character development to plot to dialogue to setting to ending, and an overall feel for your story.
You’ll get positive feedback on the areas where your story is resonating, and helpful suggestions on areas where improvements can be made. No one is expecting your story to be perfect, so you can find out where changes would help without feeling like you’re being criticized. We’re all in this together!

Help Others by Giving Feedback
By reading other member stories and giving detailed feedback, you’re helping others grow in their storytelling ability. You have the prompts you need so you can let them know what really works in their story, and offer gentle suggestions on areas that would make the story really shine.
By reviewing other writers’ stories, you’ll start thinking about your own stories and how your own advice would apply. By helping others, you help yourself become a better writer.
