For educators

Important: Not a craft-of-writing course, and not feedback on your own manuscripts.

WORDS, the writers’ e-magazine
Every writing programme ends with an issue of the best-edited work. Nine issues and counting.
Questions parents ask
What is the difference between the various programmes you conduct?
The book club is for ages seven and eight.
Read, Write, Explore is for ages nine and ten.
Deep Read is for ages 11 and 12.
They are all online programmes revolving around books and reading, but the length of the book, expected reading level, and kinds of activities are different based on the age-group.
My writing programmes are targeted at children who enjoy writing and to work on their craft.
Who should NOT join a programme?
- Children who struggle with English would not be a good fit for these book clubs.
- Children who do not have access to a good internet connection would find it difficult to keep up.
Is there a free trial class?
No, sorry.
However, if you would like to read just one book with us instead of signing up for the entire programme, you could explore the options here.
Do you offer refunds?
No, sorry. Once the fee is paid, it is non-refundable.
Do you have a separate programme for schools?
Yes, I do. Please visit my school visits page for more details.
