“A refreshing way to teach students how to be the best narrative writers they can be! Victoria breaks down writing strategies in smaller chunks so students can be successful. She also shows how to teach students the writing process, including fabulous tips for editing and revising work. I have been using these webinars since 2020 and find so much value in them. The proof is in the amazing tales the students write during this process.”
