I bought a bundle: Where do I begin?

How to navigate your bundled purchase, step by step

Congratulations! You jumped in with both feet and bought the bundle! But now you are inundated with downloads and emails and logins and passwords. How does it all fit together? 

Don't worry. We will start at the beginning and walk you through this, step by step.

Step One

Look for an email from notifications@fetchapp.com with the subject line "Brave Writer Downloads for Order ____". This will contain a link to download several files depending on which bundle you purchased. 

    • Beginning Writers Bundle - Look for these links:
      • Growing Brave Writers
      • Jot It Down!
      • Jot It Down! Planner
      • Quill (instructions for accessing your Quill subscription and your Brave Learner Home membership›)
      • How to Use Your Bundle
      • Permission to Print
      • Our copyright
    • Emerging Writers Bundle - Look for these links:
      • Growing Brave Writers
      • Partnership Writing
      • Partnership Writing Planner
      • Dart (instructions for accessing your Dart subscription and your Brave Learner Home membership)
      • How to Use Your Bundle

    • Middle School Writers Bundle - Look for these links:
      • Growing Brave Writers
      • Building Confidence
      • Building Confidence Planner
      • Arrow (instructions for accessing your Arrow subscription and your Brave Learner Home membership)
      • How to Use Your Bundle

    • High School Writers Bundle - Look for these links:
      • Help for High School
      • Boomerang (instructions for accessing your Boomerang subscription and your Brave Learner Home membership)
      • Permission to Print
      • Our copyright
    • College Prep Writers Bundle - Look for these links:
      • Help for High School
      • Slingshot (instructions for accessing your Slingshot subscription and your Brave Learner Home membership)
      • Permission to Print

Your first step is to open each file and save it to your computer for easy and reliable access. 

Next, read the document that contains instructions for setting up your Brave Writer account. 

And lastly, if you have one, read the How to Use Your Bundle document. 

Step Two

Look for an email with the subject line "Your New Brave Writer Account." This contains instructions and a login link to set up the password for your Brave Writer account. This is where you will access your Mechanics & Literature subscription (Quill, Dart, Arrow, Boomerang, Slingshot) and your Brave Learner Home membership. Follow these instructions and set up your account.

Keep in mind that the link in this email is time-sensitive. If the link expires before you have a chance to get to it, no worries! Write to us at help@bravewriter.com, and we will send you another link. 

Step Three

Log into the Brave Learner Home and go to the Start Your Journey page. There you will find helpful videos instructing you in the best ways to integrate your new bundle into your homeschool routine. (Short answer: one thing at a time!)

And, as long as you're in the Brave Learner Home, pop onto the Community Coaching forum and introduce yourself. We would love to meet you!

Step Four

Depending on which Mechanics and Literature program came with your bundle, click on the Quill, Dart, Arrow, Boomerang, or Slingshot icon. Watch the video and—for Dart, Arrow, Boomerang, and Slingshot—download the Guidelines. They are a treasure trove of helpful tips for getting the most out of your program! (No separate Guidelines for the Quill. Guidelines for the Quill are integrated in the issues.)
