Learn how to write a chapter book! This video is for kids who want to write a book. Brainstorm your idea and characters first. Then, this video will help you write your first chapter. Then, start with the chapter one video. I will help you write a twelve-chapter book. I'll guide you from the beginning to the middle to the end of your book. Then you can publish it.

FIRST, brainstorm your story idea and watch the videos in the brainstorming playlist. Then follow each of these chapters and you'll have a really strong story!
