We get it— live classes aren’t for everyone. That’s why we’ve got a selection of amazing asynchronous classes guaranteed to light your child’s creative spark!

  • Asynchronous classes tailored to fit busy family schedules.

  • Feedback from experienced, published authors weekly.

  • Engaging lessons designed specifically for young creatives.

  • As-needed support through weekly teacher office hours.

Semester Core Classes

Our semester-long creative writing classes are 12-week, teacher-led courses designed to guide students through increasingly advanced storytelling skills—whether they’re just starting out or ready to tackle complex narratives.

Each class includes weekly written lessons, engaging activities, individual writing prompts (no peer editing!), and personalized teacher feedback to support every writer’s growth.

With separate tracks for middle and high school students at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, there’s a perfect fit for every young storyteller.

Elective Classes

Our electives are flexible, self-paced classes designed for students who want to sharpen specific writing skills on their own schedule.

Each course includes a series of short, engaging mini-lessons, clear written explanations, creative activities, and focused writing prompts—no peer editing required! Students can revisit lessons as often as needed while developing targeted storytelling techniques.

With electives on everything from outlining and plagiarism to writing a book, these shorter courses offer a fun, low-pressure way to level up your writing—one skill at a time.

Adult Classes

Teaching your kid to write doesn't have to be a battle.

I've taught over 10,000 kids to not just write, but to love writing. Parents/caregivers, I can teach you those same proven techniques, strategies, games, activities, and tips to get your kid writing without tears!

The longer you wait, the trickier it becomes to change your child's perception of writing. Check out our Make My Kid Love Writing class for adults and caregivers today!

What parents are saying about WordPlay…

  • “This is an absolutely fantastic class. My daughter is a very reluctant writer - until we found this class! She loves this class and is always is so excited to show me her writings after class."

    Celine G.

  • “This was a fantastic class. My son had a great time, and it challenged him to make strong progress from week to week. He's had Jackson as an instructor for other classes for quite some time, and the quality of the instruction is top notch. Highly recommend!"

    Kathryn W.

  • "My teen has taken many WordPlay Writing Co. classes and has always had positive experiences. In this class, he finds Saundra's feedback to be helpful and describes her as kind and inclusive."

    Sabrina P.

  • "You can’t go wrong with a Jackson Pearce-led class. I have zero doubts that Ms. Pearce has helped my child go from a kid who LOVED reading, but HATED writing to a kid who now finds writing to be a need."

    Janet C.

  • "Saundra Mitchell has been an incredible teacher for my children. She’s patient, supportive, and always brings such a positive energy to her classes. My kids said she was very enthusiastic—they felt truly encouraged and motivated to keep improving their writing."
