About
Writers in Residence is a writing curriculum published by Apologia and written by Angela Doll Carlson. The program is organized around volumes for volumes 1 through 4 covering approximately grades 3 through 12. Each volume teaches writing as a craft through exposure to mentor texts, guided imitation, and the full writing process from prewriting through publication. The curriculum draws on the classical emphasis on imitation without using the formal progymnasmata sequence, resulting in a more accessible approach for families who want classical quality without classical structure. It is Christian in worldview and sold as print books with optional video instruction.
