Based upon the author s successful seminars, How to Write A Story is geared towards younger writers, but may be successfully adapted for older ones. Eight lessons explain the fundamentals of writing fiction while exercises reinforce what has been taught and worksheets help with assessing progress. Students are taught a three-step story model, in which there is a character with a problem, an objective, and obstacles over which this character seeks to triumph. Exercises help strengthen the imagination, encourage revisions, reinforce elements of writing, and require original writing. Answers included.

The Student Writing Intensive is a ten-hour, plug & play seminar for your 8-11th grade student. That's right, it's for your student to watch and follow Andrew's instructions.

Once they finish watching their assignment, you can check to be sure they understand what direction they are headed.
