At Writing Giants International, we believe every young person can be taught to write well. They simply need to be shown how.
Not every student begins as a confident writer. Some have wonderful ideas but struggle to put them into words. Others may know exactly what they want to say but need support with vocabulary, structure or confidence.
Our programmes give young people the skills, structure, confidence and creative freedom they need to become accomplished writers — while keeping their imagination and individuality at the heart of their work.
Because learning to write well is about more than achieving a good grade.
It is about giving a young person a voice.
Meet Our Team
Sabeena & Adwoa
Writing Giants International was created by Sabeena and Adwoa, bringing together 50 years of teaching experience and a shared passion for helping young people become confident, capable writers.
Their journey began in the classroom, where they developed, tested and refined practical approaches to teaching writing.
Today, that experience has been transformed into structured programmes designed to help young writers learn, create and flourish.

OUR STORY
From the Classroom to Writing Giants
Writing Giants began with a challenge: helping a year group achieve more than their results suggested they could.
Sabeena and Adwoa looked closely at how students were learning — particularly why children with wonderful imaginations could still struggle to organise their ideas into effective writing.
They began making the thinking behind successful writing visible.
With structured techniques, rich stories and opportunities to explore ideas, characters and the wider world, students began to flourish.
They became more confident, more engaged and more willing to see themselves as writers.
The numbers showed progress.
The students showed something even more powerful: “I can do this.”
OUR APPROACH
Structure Meets Creative Freedom
We believe young people need more than encouragement to become better writers.
They need to understand how writing works.
Our approach combines clear structure with creative freedom. We explicitly teach the tools accomplished writers use, then give students the freedom to make their writing their own.
3 KEY POINTS
LEARN
Understand the building blocks of powerful writing.
CREATE
Use those tools to develop original ideas and stories.
FIND YOUR VOICE
Write with confidence while keeping your individuality at the heart of your work.
We teach students how to write — without telling them what to think.
WHY WE WRITE
Why Writing Matters
Writing gives young people a way to communicate, persuade, imagine, question and create.
Through stories, they encounter different perspectives, cultures and experiences.
And when they create stories of their own, they discover that their ideas matter.
They learn to build worlds, create characters, express emotions and turn something that existed only in their imagination into something real.
OUR BEGINNING
A Belief That Became a Mission
What began in the classroom became a teaching approach shaped by years of experience, reflection and refinement.
Sabeena and Adwoa discovered that when students understand the building blocks of powerful writing, their potential can change dramatically.
That belief became the foundation of Writing Giants.
Make great writing teachable, achievable and enjoyable.
HOW WE HELP
Helping Young Writers Take Their Next Step
Our programmes give young people the structure, skills, encouragement and freedom they need to grow as writers.
Students can develop:
Vocabulary — choosing words with greater precision and effect.
Structure — organising ideas so writing flows naturally.
Literary Devices — using imagery, metaphor and other techniques to make writing memorable.
Planning — developing a reliable process for moving beyond the blank page.
Creativity & Voice — turning ideas into writing that feels distinctly their own.
GROWING TODAY
From One Classroom to Young Writers Worldwide
In 2021, Sabeena brought the writing approaches developed in the classroom to students online through Writing Giants.
Today, our structured programmes support young people aged 9–15 around the world, through self-paced and live online learning.
The principles remain the same:
Clear teaching.
Practical tools.
Creative freedom.
A stronger voice.
From classroom expertise to a global community of young writers.
OUR MISSION
Every Great Writer Starts Somewhere
With the right guidance and encouragement, a hesitant writer can become a confident one.
For young people who struggle to organise their thoughts, our structured approach helps them shape their ideas into meaningful writing.
Moreover, children who say “I don’t know what to write” can discover a world of stories, opinions and ideas waiting to be expressed.
Ultimately, wherever they begin, we provide the skills, support and creative freedom they need to take the next step.
Ideas. Imagination. Voice.

The Golden Peacock by Sabeena Sheikh
In 1897 Amritsar, two young girls bury a golden peacock beneath a storm-darkened sky – a desperate act to silence a dangerous force – which then becomes a family secret. Over a century later, in a quiet English town, their descendants unknowingly meet for the first time. Jenna and Jesse are brought together by chance – or perhaps not – only to discover matching heirlooms, intertwined family histories and journals written in fading scripts that echo with the voices of colonial India and Partition-era Punjab. As they uncover tales of resilience, migration and deep cultural heritage, they begin to realise the depth of their bond. When history stirs, will two modern British girls be able to carry forward what their ancestors began and keep their families safe?
