Write Like an Author
This is where serious young writers are made.
Write Like an Author Studio is a complete creative writing program for children who love writing – or want to love it – but don’t always feel they’re getting the guidance, feedback, or level of challenge they’re ready for.
Used in schools across Australia and New Zealand, Write Like an Author (WLAA), from Litbridge Education, is a complete, curriculum-based creative writing program developed by a full-time professional author – now adapted so home learners can work through it at their own pace.
- Learn how stories actually work (not formulas or templates)
- Turn ideas into finished writing with clear structure
- Build characters readers care about
- Control tension, pacing, and reader impact
- Improve drafts through real revision and polish
What students learn
Students don’t just write more. They write better, with greater confidence and enjoyment.
- How stories are built – and why some stories don’t work
- How to shape scenes so the writing is clear and engaging
- How character choices drive plot and reader emotion
- How to build tension and keep readers turning pages
- How to revise and polish writing so it lands
How it works at home
Clear explanations, real examples, and practical tools – structured so students can progress independently, with optional parent support.
Who it’s for
Write Like an Author Studio is designed for individual learners from Year 3 to Year 10, and works especially well for:
- Homeschool families wanting a rigorous, professionally designed program
- Enthusiastic writers who are ready for more depth and challenge
- Students who love stories but struggle to organise ideas or finish work
- Parents who want expert guidance without having to become writing teachers
