For young writers who love dragons, adventure, and the world of Wings of Fire!
Wings of Fire Short Story is a 6-week self-paced creative writing course for young writers who love dragons, adventure, and the world of Wings of Fire. Through pre-recorded video lessons, students will learn the foundations of storytelling while creating an original Wings of Fire short story set in the universe they already know and love.
Each week includes a video lesson, guided writing activities, a creative assignment, and personalized feedback from a real instructor. Students won’t simply complete prompts independently—they’ll receive individualized responses designed to help them strengthen their storytelling, build confidence, and continue developing their ideas.
Throughout the course, students will explore core creative writing concepts like plot structure, character development, description, dialogue, revision, and overcoming writer’s block. Lessons use examples from Wings of Fire to help students better understand how stories work, from analyzing memorable characters to discussing how tension, conflict, and emotional stakes shape a story.
Students are encouraged to make the course their own. Some writers may invent entirely new dragon tribes or continents, while others might explore untold stories involving existing characters and settings from the series. The course is designed to balance creativity, structure, and fun while helping students build real storytelling skills in a familiar fictional world.
Because the course is self-paced, students can complete lessons on their own schedule while still benefiting from structured guidance and meaningful instructor feedback. The prerecorded format also allows students to revisit lessons whenever they need inspiration or support while working on their stories.
Students do not need to have finished the full Wings of Fire series to participate, though familiarity with at least some of the books is recommended. The course is designed to work for both longtime fans and newer readers alike.
By the end of the six weeks, students will have developed an original Wings of Fire short story while strengthening their understanding of storytelling, revision, creativity, and writing confidence.
