“Brave Writer is an innovative approach to writing for families who are tired of the failed methods of traditional writing instruction,” she says. “I discovered that when I applied the strategies and tactics I learned in professional writing to my children, their writing voices bloomed and their confidence followed,” she says.Īt a time when it seems like teaching methods are constantly changing and our children seem a little more frustrated with the learning process, Bogart wants to reach out and help – through Brave Writer. In her career, Bogart has worked in ghostwriting, freelance writing, and as a columnist. “She nurtured my love of writing so that by the time I was in college, I was a fluent, passionate writer,” explains Bogart. Julie Bogart’s mother was a professional writer with 85 books to her credit. Brave Writer helps improve creative writing and calm children’s worries about learning to write.
