I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).
I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels.

I know this is late posting…but if you are reading these posts late…then it’s perfect! Here is an opportunity to read some great stuff by hopeful and published authors….many YA, and some more adult, but not “ADULT”, if you know what I mean…I have links to the writing competition at WRiTE Club where it is in its Second Round, so it’s down to 36 writers. Vote until Sunday morning, then winners are announced and the Third Round of new 500 word stories starts. Fun! And you may find some inspiration for your students. Sign up on a Linky before voting or it doesn’t count! http://mainelywrite.blogspot.com/2012/11/voting-at-write-club.html
We declared an impasse last night…I know that factors in to my heightened anxiety. My heart goes out to all who have lost so much because of the hurricane. Prayers…everyone.

This is not a political slice. Instead, it’s about me doing a little bit to help a school that has lost so much as a result of Hurricane Sandy.
