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. Students will learn to correct grammar mistakes in their writing, but this is not an English class where grammar is taught consistently as part of the courses.
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 rotation. 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 adult romance, graphic 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 different students’ 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, My Tech High, and as a vendor for the Utah Fits All scholarship. Please email me at ariellehadfield@gmail.com to make a payment through a homeschool funding account.
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 improve 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 edit calls will still provide useful information to your teen author that he can use in his 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 writing classes for teens in person for several years. 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.
I have another question not listed here.
