Built by an Author, Designed for the Classroom
This curriculum was created by a children’s book author and middle school teacher who teaches the same craft moves used in professional publishing, including work with HarperCollins and Disney-Hyperion.
Students learn how real writers think, draft, and revise, so writing stops feeling like a school task and starts feeling meaningful.
