We’re looking for outstanding talent to join us in creating the best online writing school in the world.
Write of Passage began in 2019 as an experiment: How do we teach writing for the Internet Age?
In three years, over 1,000 students from all over the world have learned a system for publishing quality ideas, connecting with like-minded people, and elevating their careers through writing on the Internet. Our graduates are using online writing to build audiences, launch businesses, and make an impact—living life on their terms!

- They’ll find others who share their passions—making worldwide connections.
- They’ll 2x their potential—getting out of traffic and into the fast lane.
We’re seeking exceptional people to help us build this exceptional program.
If you want to pioneer 21st-century education, teaching tens of thousands of high school students how to 2x their potential by writing online—read on.
You’ll lead students, ages 14-18, on a vibrant writing journey. The future of education is hands-on, entertaining, and centered around student obsessions.
We’ll provide you with the foundation; you’ll use your passion and creativity to customize and deliver the best learning experience imaginable. Inspire our students to publish their ideas while having the time of their lives (or, at least, a lot of fun).
