Making new friends can be challenging! That why we created a safe, private community for your kids to be able to make friends with other children who enjoy writing as much as they do. Our community is not only safe, but it’s also monitored by our team of experienced moderators who ensure that all interactions are respectful and appropriate. 

Parents are more than welcome to join us as well! We know how important it is for parents to feel secure in the online spaces their children frequent. That's why we have created a platform that encourages healthy socialization while maintaining strict security protocols for younger members. 

Students will read two books, the classic Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson and Peter Man by J.M. Barrie. These books are available for free online as ebooks and audiobooks. We recommend fully illustrated abridged classics for ages 8-12 and beginning readers. 

We provide book club questions and topics to discuss in our private community along with fun literature based activities and family-friendly movies and TV shows to fully immerse them in great literature.

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 Young

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 nine 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 filled out copy of the 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!
