Write Your Own Story Book cover

Suitable for aspiring young writers, this activity book is full of hints, tips and handy tasks for writing stories. It includes writing tips, techniques and methods to make every story a masterpiece, with helpful activities on coming up with ideas, writing from different points of view, and creating characters, settings and story lines.

A fantastic write-in book that helps children learn to write their own stories.

Includes lots of different writing activities including a fictional school journal, writing a comic strip, and forming a story around a picture. Packed with writing tips and a 'storywriting toolkit' to inspire budding authors. Concealed spiral binding that allows the book to open flat but doesn't get in the way as you write.

Perfectly complemented by Usborne's Write Your Own Story Word Book, an inspiring write-in book that helps children find the right words for engaging stories.
