A Brave Writer’s Life in Brief

Congrats to Brave Writer Eleanor Nash for being published in The Kansas City Star! She writes:

I took Brave Writer’s High School Writing Project class this spring, and in the class I wrote an essay. I submitted the essay to my city’s newspaper and this Wednesday it was printed.

Thank you for the writing help,

Eleanor Nash

Here’s the opening of Eleanor’s article:

Read the rest here.

Way to go, Eleanor! We’re so proud of you and all our Brave Writer students!
