Imagine a book, kind of like a toolkit, that students (aged 7+) could just grab when they're stuck writing a story. That's what I intend to create, based on the ideas in my book 'Sentence Models for Creative Writing.' It will be broken down into sections like setting, action, and character, and each one would give students easy-to-use sentence models to use in their own writing. Sections would contain 10 to 20 sentence models for students aged 7 - 18 to implement. Chapters will also feature clear advice on writing effectively through the differing lenses, such as setting descriptions or action scenes.
