A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

Comic Strip Capers Activity

Brave Writer Online Class

“Writing can be a lot of fun if you like what you’re writing about.” —Everett

Think your kids aren’t artistic enough? Don’t like writing enough?

Drawers of stick figures, reluctant writers, AND avid illustrators and storytellers are all welcome in Brave Writer’s Comic Strip Capers online class. Because the most important thing about a comic strip is the story—and we all have stories to tell.

What stories will your kids tell?

Let’s find out! 

First, check out the below expertly drawn comic (ha!) with your family.  

Brave Writer

Now ask: What did they do next—in that third panel?

Brainstorm together and see what emerges!

If your family enjoyed this activity:

  • Download our free sequential art page to play with.
  • Listen to the Brave Writer podcast episode, Comics Make You Smart.
  • Join us in Comic Strip Capers for a deep dive into what goes into making a comic strip.

5 Reasons to Take a Brave Writer Online Class in Summer

Brave Writer Summer Classes

Here are five reasons to sign up for a summertime Brave Writer Online Class:

1. Narrow the focus! Focusing on writing alone allows your child to grow their skills without juggling lots of subjects at once. This is especially helpful for kids who do better when they can go deep on one thing at a time.

2. Short and engaging. Our classes feel more like “Summer Camp” than “Summer School” because young writers choose their topics and get actionable, positive feedback to help them grow their skills. They will want to log on to see their coach’s feedback!

3. Gain new skills that stick. Like Summer Camp, kids come away with new skills they will use for the rest of their lives, increasing their confidence and competence in every writing situation. Instead of learning to start a fire, they will learn to tap into their writing voice!

4. Freedom! Log in any time from anywhere! Our asynchronous classes fit your summer schedule, no matter where you are in the world. Your child gets a live teacher and real interactions with zero required login times.

5. 30+ academic and creative writing classes to choose from on the summer schedule! Whether you have a reluctant writer who needs a gentle on-ramp or a teen ready to stretch, there is a class that fits. Browse and find the right one.


After 26 years of teaching writing online, Brave Writer is not an unknown. We know what works. We have watched thousands of families go from dread to delight, and we can help yours do the same.

Kids grow and change, but one thing stays steady: a Brave Writer online class will meet your child where they are and help them move forward.

  • Or just go “slo-mo,” giving your student more time with the material. 
  • Decide on the due dates that work best for you and your family. Your coach is ready when you are.
  • Grab this option while you can: FLEX classes are only offered in summer!   

Our students have been enthusiastic about this! 

“I liked this course better than the classes that I’ve taken in the past because of the amount of freedom I had. The way I was able to submit my work in my own time was great for me.” – Justin

We’ve got four FLEX options: 

  • Essay Prep: Reading the Essay
