Serious young writers need more than encouragement
When a child loves writing – or wants to love it – the biggest challenge is knowing what to do next. Write Like an Author gives families a clear pathway, with lessons that make writing skills understandable and practice that makes them stick.
Our approach was created by an award-winning author and turns “good writing” into teachable choices – with clear modelling, guided practice, and activities that build confidence through small, repeatable wins.
Whether you’re hands-on or hands-off, Write Like an Author is designed so your child can keep making progress – and you can feel confident they’re learning the right things.
A complete writing program your child can work through at their own pace – with the same underlying approach used in schools across Australia and New Zealand, adapted for home learning. Lessons explain the craft clearly, activities turn it into habit, and the skills build in a sensible sequence over time.
Students don’t just write more. They write better – clearer stories, stronger characters, smoother scenes, and more control of pace and tension.
No guesswork. No inventing units. You get a clear, structured pathway so you always know what to do next – even if you’re not “a writing person”.
Flexible pacing, complete coverage across ages, and writing skills that transfer into the kinds of tasks students meet in school and real life.
Write Like an Author teaches the writing skills that matter across subjects – clear structure, sentence control, cohesion, vocabulary choices, and deliberate author decisions for audience and purpose.
That means students don’t just “do writing”. They learn why writing works – and how to improve it in a way they can repeat.
The program breaks writing into clear skill areas, so improvement isn’t a mystery – it becomes visible and explainable.
