Live Classes With Other Muslim Girls
She can ask questions, exchange ideas, talk about what she’s writing, and enjoy learning alongside other Muslim girls like her!
Stories by Her™
Imagine your daughter reading you a story she wrote herself.
Over six weeks, she’ll develop her own original short story, practice the skills that help her tell it well, and learn to approach writing as a Muslimah according to the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah.
6 weeks of writing
12 live classes
Ages 13–17
Founding tuition from $249
Her Own Story Studio
I want the girls to enjoy themselves and look forward to our writing classes. We’ll learn together, ask questions, experiment with ideas, and work on stories of our own.
Her Writing Journal & Original Story
Her journal gives her one place to collect story ideas, plan characters and scenes, and work through revisions. She can also use it to reflect on what she’s learning and how she’s growing as a Muslimah.
Writing Challenges & Achievements
Writing prompts give her something new to try between classes and encourage her to keep writing. We’ll celebrate her progress with milestone badges throughout the program!
Our Closing Story Showcase
We’ll celebrate the girls’ work at our closing Story Showcase! Anyone who would like to share can read an excerpt or tell us about her story. Sharing is optional, and each girl will receive a participation certificate.
Families will receive information about accessing classes, writing materials, and other program resources before the first class.
Muslimah First. Writer Second.
Being a Muslimah comes first, whether we’re writing stories or going about our everyday lives. I want the girls to learn principles from the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah that benefit them personally as they grow into young Muslim women.
We’ll talk about the importance of doing what is pleasing to Allah and how to tell an engaging story without praising or encouraging what He has forbidden. We’ll also learn to create realistic Muslim characters, including those who make mistakes, and discuss how to portray their decisions and consequences responsibly.
Of course, we’ll enjoy writing, too! We’ll try new ideas, learn writing skills, and develop our own stories while applying what we’ve studied throughout the program.

What She'll Learn Over Six Weeks
We'll begin with what it means to write as a Muslimah. Then, week by week, the girls will build their own characters, plan their plots, write scenes, and learn how to improve what they've written. Here's what they'll be working on!
WEEK01
Our Words Are an Amanah
We’ll begin with what it means to write as a Muslimah and the importance of choosing stories and words that are pleasing to Allah. We’ll explore examples from the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah.
WEEK02
Muslim Characters With Real Depth
A Muslim character needs more than a Muslim name or a hijab! She’ll create characters with personalities, motivations, strengths, and weaknesses, and try telling a scene from different points of view.
WEEK03
Setting, Conflict, and Plot
Where does her story take place? What does her character want, and what gets in the way? She’ll learn to connect these ideas into a plot, and we'll talk about how her characters might respond to difficulties, including what it means to place their trust in Allah.
WEEK04
Writing Scenes and Dialogue
She’ll put her characters into action! We’ll practice descriptions, natural dialogue, and scenes that help readers picture what’s taking place.
WEEK05
Making Her Story Stronger
We’ll look at the scenes she’s written and try ways to improve them, including pacing, transitions, and possible endings. She’ll have time to make changes to her own story.
WEEK06
Revising and Celebrating Her Work
We’ll revisit our work, make final revisions, and celebrate the girls’ efforts during our closing Story Showcase. She can keep her journal and continue developing her story after the program.
Sundays: Lesson & Discussion
I'll introduce the week's writing skill, show examples, and give the girls opportunities to ask questions, discuss what we're learning, and try it together!
Wednesdays: Story Studio & Practice
We'll use what we studied on Sunday in our own writing. This is our time for activities, developing scenes and characters, sharing ideas, and getting help with our stories!
Meet Your Instructor
As Salaamu Alaykum! I’m Najah Bint Jihad. I’m happy you’re here!
I’m a Muslimah writer, mother, educator, and writing mentor. I’ve taught English and creative writing to middle- and high-school students, facilitated creative writing workshops, and mentored girls and Muslim women.
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work and a certificate in Child Advocacy Studies. I love helping and encouraging others, and I genuinely enjoy teaching writing. I truly hope your daughter enjoys our classes as much as I enjoy teaching them, and I'm looking forward to seeing her grow as a writer, In Shaa Allah!
What Students & Families Have Shared
Here are some kind words I've received from former students, parents, and colleagues!
“I also wanted to express my sincere gratitude from the bottom of my heart for being the best English instructor I’ve ever had. ... While writing my personal statement, I found myself constantly reflecting on your lessons on how to express myself through words.”
Former student · Later admitted to Rutgers University
“Your class has seriously been one of my favorites, always fun, always creative, and never boring! You made writing and reading feel exciting, and I actually looked forward to your class every day.”

Parent of a former student
“Your expertise and subject knowledge provided a solid foundation for your lessons. Your connection with the students on an individual basis allowed you to relate the content with each one of them individually.”

Have a question before enrolling? I’d be happy to help!
A Few Parent Questions
I’m happy to answer any questions before you enroll!
Does she need any writing experience?
Not at all! Girls who already love writing are welcome, and so are girls who'd like to try it for the first time.
Will she have to turn on her camera?
No, cameras are optional. I'll teach using live voice instruction, screen sharing, and activities, with my camera off for privacy. Microphone participation is normally expected, and you're welcome to discuss any participation needs with me in advance.
What happens if she misses a class?
Classes aren't recorded, so there won't be a replay. She can use the written lesson resources and download permitted materials while her online learning access is active.
What is the difference between Studio Plus and Academic Assessment?
Studio Plus includes individual feedback on her story concept and draft. Academic Assessment is a separate $79 option where I grade the assigned writing she submits throughout the six weeks, with rubrics, written comments, and suggested grades for homeschool records. It does not provide accredited school credit.
Can I enroll more than one girl?
Yes! Add sisters living in the same household. For another household, complete a separate enrollment.
Is Stories by Her™ an accredited course?
No. It's an enrichment program, and any suggested grades are for your family's educational records. The program doesn't award official school credit.
Can she continue writing with you after the program?
I’m developing a separate six-week Story Completion Mentorship for girls who want continued individual support with their stories. This will have its own enrollment and tuition once available.
How do payment plans, cancellations, and refunds work?
You may pay the full tuition at enrollment or choose two payments. The cancellation and refund terms, including deadlines, are in the Parent/Legal Guardian Agreement. Please review them before enrolling, and send me a message if anything needs explaining.
Can I speak with you before enrolling?
Of course! Use the 'Ask Me a Question' button below or email me at info@writefullyhers.com. I'd be happy to hear from you!
How will the live classes work?
I'll teach through live audio, screen sharing, and interactive writing activities, with my camera off. Students' cameras are optional. I'll confirm the learning platform and access arrangements before the cohort begins.
What if a cohort doesn't have enough students?
Each cohort requires at least four paid students. I'll confirm whether the cohort is going ahead no later than seven calendar days before its first class. If a cohort does not proceed, you can choose a full refund or transfer to another confirmed cohort.
Where can I review the enrollment agreement and privacy information?
Please review the Parent/Legal Guardian Agreement and Student Privacy Information and contact me with any questions before making a payment.
I Look Forward to Meeting Our Writers!
There’s so much I’m looking forward to exploring with the girls, from their first story ideas to our final Story Showcase. I hope these six weeks benefit them as Muslimahs and as writers, and that we enjoy learning together, In Shaa Allah!
