Frequently Asked Questions:
What writing ability does my child need?
The personalized nature of this club allows for writers in a wide range of ability to refine their skills.
However, it is essential that aspiring authors are proficient in basic grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Additionally, authors should be capable of formatting their writing into correct paragraphs free from run-on sentences.
Unsure if your child is ready for this club? Send me an email at ariellehadfield@gmail.com for a free, personalized evaluation.
Can my kids share a subscription to this club?
All of your kids are welcome to view the courses and calls. (And you can too!) But only one piece of writing can be submitted per account per turn. Your children can rotate through who submits each time, but if multiple children want to submit work at the same time, they will need separate accounts.
While parents are also welcome to view the courses, we cannot offer live edit services to the work of parents or other adults in the home.
Are there requirements or restrictions of what can be submitted?
Students can write in whatever style or topic most interests them. They do not need to complete each writing prompt, and they do not need to write in every style taught.
In an effort to keep this club appropriate for all ages, stories that contain sex, violence, swearing, or references to drugs and alcohol will not be read aloud or shared for peer edits. Other content that may be triggering may be withheld from peer edits and only receive an edit from instructors at the instructor’s discretion.
What if we miss a class?
This club includes two main areas of instruction. The first is a recorded monthly course on a variety or writing topics. This can be viewed whenever is most convenient for you.
The second manner of instruction is a weekly call where professional instructors provide live feedback on a student’s work. Attending live provides the opportunity to give feedback and ask questions. However, these calls are all recorded and posted online and can be viewed at a later date in the event a class is missed
Are you an approved vendor for homeschool funding?
Yes! I am approved through both Harmony and My Tech High. Payment must be made upon signing up for the course, but receipts can be provided upon request for reimbursement.
How often will my child receive feedback?
During the live calls, an instructor will provide feedback for four students’ work. The number of times your child receives an edit depends on the number of students in the club and the frequency at which each student writes and submits work.
How will be child learn if she does not receive weekly edits?
It is unlikely that your child will receive an edit from an instructor each week.
But each week, feedback is offered, and this is still extremely valuable. Often it is easier to understand and apply feedback when we view it on another’s work instead of our own, where we may become too close to the work to see its needs for improvement. Attending the live edits calls will still provide useful information to your teen author that he or she can use in his or her future writing.
Additionally, there is an ongoing peer-edit list where students can submit their work (with the agreement that they will also edit a classmate’s work) and receive edits in this manner.
Who are these professional authors and editors?
Right now, it’s just me! I am a published author and a professional editor. In addition, I have taught many writing classes for teens. I am excited to make the jump to online to expand the number of my students!
As the club grows and we develop the need to additional editors, I will hire them based on several factors to ensure their qualifications both in writing and editing, but also in providing an uplifting and encouraging environment for teens.
