I liked that it addressed problems that are NEVER addressed anywhere else, like the writers block, and how to focus better. The story planning was good too, and it helped me lay out my story. - Dalton, Student age 14

The Writing Academy I Wish Existed When I Was A Teen
I created the Story Quest Academy because I have a genuine passion for fiction writing, empowering kids to tell their stories and sharing what I've learned from twelve years as a professional writer. I believe everyone has a story to tell, and I want to help them say it well.
Constructive Feedback On Every Story
At Story Quest Academy, we think constructive feedback is the best way to grow as a writer. Every student gets a FREE story evaluation from one of our instructors. This includes a filled out copy of the story evaluation workbook plus basic grammar and spelling corrections.
In the day and age of texting and emojis, creative writing is an essential subject to help teens learn how to communicate their thoughts and ideas eloquently. Writing short stories is the best way to have fun while teaching them how to order their thoughts and improve their grammar! They won't even realize its schoolwork!
