Class Overview
Made With You in Mind
In revision, the writer might ask
- Is that the right word?
- Should I spell this out for the reader?
- Would some details help visualize this?
- Does this make sense for this character?
Revision is the writer’s second chance. They return to the first draft as a reader to enhance their vision, finetune the details, or amp up the mood.
Designed for high school students who are passionate about fiction and are ready to explore revision techniques deeply, Powerful Fiction Techniques blends appealing, enjoyable writing with the concrete, tangible skills of revision.
Each week includes two writing assignments:
- A prompt that asks the student to explore their characters and story in a new way
- A technique exercise that guides students to revise their earlier prompt
By the way, revision is the finesse work that leads to artful writing—in any genre. We’re beefing up composition and revision muscles. This growth translates to every area of writing including essays, personal narratives, and discussion pieces.
Come and let your teen experience what revision can do to pages of words!
It’s a cold hard world out there? Not here!
You should know—at Brave Writer®, we don’t just care about the writing. We also care deeply about the writer. Our coach is an instant mentor and ally—investing in each plot line, story idea, or sensory detail.
We meet your kids where they are, starting with their personal writing goals. Writers have the option to generate new material from an existing story, start from scratch with a new idea, or approach each week as a blank slate.
Writing can be a solitary process! This class doubles as a hangout for a community of teen writers. Students are given space to support each other and have conversations that mimic a ‘real-life’ teen writing group.
