Dear Community Village  of Story by Elena

I am excited to share some wonderful news with you.

I am now an approved direct provider with the Step Up For Students scholarship program. This program helps Florida families access educational opportunities that support their children’s learning and creativity.

As a published author and writing coach, I created Stories by Elena to help children discover the joy of storytelling and the confidence that comes from expressing their ideas.

Through this program, eligible homeschool families are able to use their scholarship funds to enroll their children in my creative writing classes. In these sessions, I guide students step by step as they learn how to plan, develop, and write their own original stories.

Together we explore characters, adventures, and problem-solving while strengthening reading and writing skills in a creative and supportive environment. My goal is to help each child discover their unique voice and understand that their imagination has value.

At the end of the program, students complete their own story, and their work can be transformed into a professionally formatted eBook. Seeing their ideas become a real book is an exciting and empowering experience for young writers.

If you would like more information about class schedules or how to use your Step Up scholarship, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to answer any questions.
