Tired of Low Expectations for Teen Writers?
Some people don’t think teens can do serious things with their writing.
We have a different perspective.
Our students have written thousands of full-length novels, published books, and even won awards as teen writers.
We’ve seen just how much teen writers can accomplish when they work with authors who see their potential and help them achieve it.
What could you do with a supportive community around you?

Find the Community You’ve Dreamed Of
Too many young writers feel alone because their peers don’t get why writing matters so much to them.
That’s why our programs focus on building community so you can benefit from the power of Positive Peer Pressure. When teens encourage other teens to write more and pursue their potential, they achieve pretty fantastic results.
Because you weren’t meant to embark on this writing journey alone.
“The Young Writer’s Workshop has been a terrific online space for my teen: full of other creative teens, honoring to the Lord, and without the pettiness and vitriol so common on major social media platforms.”
How to Get Started
The WriterScore Assessment tracks writers in Ten Key Areas so they can get clarity and confidence on what’s currently holding them back from success.
Whether you’re an absolute beginner or a published author, the WriterScore will show you how to move forward and help you track your progress.
