Many students often lack the necessary skills to tackle grade-level writing standards, leading to boredom, disinterest, and minimal effort.

That's where this transformative training comes in. Drawing from my experience as both a teacher and a published author, I have completely revamped my writing program by incorporating valuable insights from editors at publishing houses like HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin, and Disney-Hyperion.

Now, I'm excited to share all the tricks of the trade from the publishing industry with you!

The results have been astounding. Many teachers who have implemented this structured writing workshop have been getting stunning results.

"I've noticed an excitement toward writing that I have never seen before."

~Patti B.

This workshop goes ALL IN on the research behind motivation, utilizing strategies such as student leadership, the power of choices presented in threes, trio teams, and the transformative "diamond mining" process.

Your students will finally feel energized and empowered to put their thoughts and ideas onto paper. Just like an object in motion tends to stay in motion, once we lift our students up and convince them that their voices are valuable, there's no stopping them!

"I can't say enough how amazing this writing instruction by Robin Mellom is! It's lit a new fire under me!"

-Pam R., 5th grade, Georgia

Your students will:

✅Launch their writing projects with confidence

✅Find their writer's voice
