ADVENTURE STATION 3
Don't just learn to write, learn to be an author!
The Creative Writer's Lab
Revelation 21:3-5
The Creative Writer's Lab developed by author Janet Beasley.
The Creative Writer's Lab offers individual creative writing Adventures for individuals or groups ranging in age from 10 - 110! This lab contains a wealth of FREE, downloadable and printable creative writing information for both Novice and Advanced writing enthusiasts. Every Adventure has been written by either Janet Beasley (#1 best-selling author and artist), or Dar Bagby (English Language Specialist and retired professional editor and illustrator).​​
COOL INFO REGARDING THE CURRICULUM OFFERED . . .
All creative writing Adventures offered are straight from Janet Beasley's comprehensive creative writing curriculum. Every Adventure has been written by either Janet (#1 best-selling author and artist), or Dar Bagby (retired professional editor and illustrator - and Janet's sister). Janet & Dar both retired from and closed the doors of Janet's company, JLB Creatives Publishing.
Each Creative Writing Adventure has been created and written from Janet and Dar's education, and success in the literary field. Together they hold a combined total of over 75 years experience when it comes to creative writing. During the initial creation of the curriculum, Janet's main goal was to ensure that each Writing Adventure was fun to learn, easy-to-understand, interactive, inspiring, and encouraging.
This sister team's unique approach to presenting creative writing is far different from other techniques. For instance, they see you as far more than a student, to them you're a Writing Enthusiast. They prefer to to call the lessons Adventures. And instead of being a teacher you are an Overseer. There are no tests or quizzes which alleviates pressure, stress, and fear. Writing Enthusiasts will be able to reach beyond being a writer and learn how to become an author. And Overseers - great news - every Adventure is designed to be presented by anyone. Whether you've written fiction or this is your first experience with such, Janet and Dar believe you'll find these lessons easy to teach, fun to learn, and rewarding as an aspiring author.
