A writing workshop without the workshop
Is there a homeschool creative writing curriculum for high school?
Free for 30 days. No card.
Every course in every grade, for every child in the family. Lessons pause when the free days end unless you choose to subscribe.
Start 30 days freeYes. Craft and Revision: A Creative Writing Workshop is a grade 11 course of four units and 26+ hours. It is a semester of writing workshop minus the room full of other kids.
The four units
The Image Made of Words: Poetry and the Line. Scene, Summary, and the Shape of a Story. Writing What Actually Happened. The Portfolio: Revision as Argument.
Three pieces, then revised
A student writes real poems, a real short story and a real personal essay, then revises all three into a final portfolio.
One move, three genres
Instead of grading by gut feeling, a child learns to name a specific problem in a draft, point to the line causing it and decide a fix.
Your part
Your job is mostly to read the drafts and ask a short list of specific questions, not to judge whether the writing is good.
What this is not
- It is one course among many. You decide which to take, which to hold back and how many to do in a day.
- It is a semester course and does not replace the English course for the year.
- It cannot promise any college will accept a homeschool transcript. It prints one of what was taught and mastered, and your family issues it.

Questions parents ask
Does it replace English 11?
No. American Voices, American Arguments is the grade 11 English course, and this is a separate workshop.
Does it count toward a high school transcript?
Hours log themselves and a transcript of what was taught and mastered prints in one click. There is also a free transcript maker at /homeschool-transcript that needs no account.
What does it cost?
$29 a month or $290 a year for every child. The first 30 days are free with no card.
