Jonathan Rogers explores the unique nature of storytelling and why it's different from writing essays or sermons. Instead of directly discussing big ideas or philosophical concepts, fiction requires you to bring those ideas to life through characters, actions, and sensory experiences. Learn how to transform abstract thoughts and emotions into concrete, relatable experiences that readers can engage with on a deeper level.

Writing Through to Kill a Mockingbird and Writing Through The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe are video-based self-studies, made with the assumption that attentive readers can improve their own creative writing. Join Jonathan Rogers on a journey into the literary elements of these books. Admire the description, dialogue, concision and pacing of the classic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and To Kill a Mockingbird. Jonathan Rogers of Grammar for Writers teaches high school students how to improve their own creative writing by examining the literary elements of these classics.
