The Creative Writer, Level 4: Becoming a Writer

The Creative Writer: Level Four.

Becoming a Writer also walks students through the transition from study to practice, broadening the series' focus by discussing the writing life--how to find and sumit literary journals, how to develop discipline, and how to persevere in the face of rejection. Designed for older students, the readings increase in maturity as well. Parents may wish to preview selections for younger students using this curriculum. The Creative Writer Level 4: Becoming a Writer will provide guide students towards becoming a true writer. 36 weeks of instruction, divided between fiction and poetry. 240 pages, softcover.
