“Not only does this teaching make the child a better writer, but a better reader, thinker, and participant in the books they do read. I can’t help but think...that these skills will spill over
into other areas of their life. ...[A] fantastic creative writing course for your high school students.”

- Crystal Wetherhol, Savoring the Shades of Women, Evansville, IN

Letter from an English Teacher
“Wow! This series is completely amazing, and the kids are learning so
much! This morning, one student said, ‘Mrs. Hill, you have just ruined
all movies for me. I can’t watch anything anymore without analyzing
everything the characters are doing and why they’re suffering and the story goal and the author’s intent!’
Then a bunch of others were all like, ‘Yeah! Me too!’ I just smiled and thought, ‘They’re learning!’

... there’s such specific instruction about how to develop each character, how to build suspense, etc.
Even students who struggle to write couldn’t wait to get them back with my comments about
their story. In fact, [one student] said he comes home every day, and it’s
the first thing he wants to work on!
This is definitely a curriculum I want to use in my class every year.”
~ Tyler Hill, English Instructor

“All I can say is...WOW! Never have I seen a more in-depth, engaging, challenging and altogether FUN writing curriculum than this one.” - Denise in Lynnwood, WA

“fantastic...I wish my high school teacher had used the One Year Adventure Novel.” - Heather in Lindsay, OK

"engages the student in a way that I have not ever seen in any other writing program." - Jennifer in Palmdale, CA

“amazing, exciting, creative, enriching, well-organized, inspiring, wonderful” - Regina in Wadsworth, OH

Students learn and understand:

• Classical story structure.

• The five elements of every great story, as well as:

• Characterization, plot, setting, theme, and conflict (but in ways that are fun and engaging).

• By creating, not just analyzing; by emphasizing practical application over theory.

• How to interpret stories. They'll never read a book, see a play or watch a movie the same way again.


Understanding builds confidence.

Guided practice is much more effective than trial-and-error.

Shave years off the process of development as a writer by learning Story.
