Don't just take our word for it, see what other students and parents had to say!

I liked that it addressed problems that are NEVER addressed anywhere else, like the writers block, and how to focus better. The story planning was good too, and it helped me lay out my story. - Dalton, Student age 14
StoryQuest was very responsive and helpful when we encountered any difficulty. And it was great to see my kids enjoying a writing class so much! - Janice D. Parent

Hi there, I’m Amelia DeField

I'm a professional copywriter, a homeschool advocate, and short story author. I live in Northern Idaho with my family and my big dog, Teddy Bear. For the past twelve years, I have worked as a business consultant and copywriter for Small Town and Rural, a design and marketing agency. When I'm not writing or reading something, you can find me painting birds or gardening.

The Writing Academy I Wish Existed When I Was A Teen

I created the Story Quest Academy because I have a genuine passion for fiction writing, empowering young writers to tell their stories and sharing what I've learned from twelve years as a professional writer. I believe everyone has a story to tell and I want to help them say it well.

Meet the rest of the team here!

At Story Quest Academy, we think constructive feedback is the best way to grow as a writer. Every student gets a FREE story evaluation from one of our instructors. This includes a story evaluation workbook, plus basic grammar and spelling corrections. 

Exclusive Rewards

You will receive an exclusive reward from Story Quest Academy to give your young writer once they complete their writing quest! These rewards will help to incentivize them to write and keep them motivated to finish their stories!
