There is no WTM follow-up series to Writing with Skill, but this link to writing recommendations lists some books that could be used at the high school level. Those who prefer to outsource can check out the classes at Well-Trained Mind Academy.

5 out of 5 Thorough Writing Instruction
I couldn’t have picked a better resource for preparing my tenth-grader to enter private school in the fall. She had very little formal writing instruction at home and I was concerned. However, this program was so thorough and detailed, it was like having a seasoned composition teacher in the room with us. I feel confident that she will be prepared for a variety of writing assignments in any class she encounters, and I know she will continue to use the text as a resource next year. I look forward to using it with my other children. Thank you, Susan Wise Bauer, for taking the time to compose this series.
