FROM THE DESK OF The Structured Writing Teacher

About me

Introduction	I’m a children’s book author with Disney-Hyperion and HarperCollins and a middle school writing teacher on a mission to make writing instruction fun, structured, and student-led. After spending years struggling with ineffective writing programs, I developed a proven system that helps students become motivated, independent writers—without relying on formulaic essays or rigid structures. As an author of over 10 books, I’ve worked with professional editors who pushed me to refine my craft, and I bring those real-world writing strategies straight into the classroom. Through my blog, videos, and resources, I share practical tips, engaging lessons, and research-backed strategies to help teachers transform their students’ writing. Let’s make writing exciting, meaningful, and confidence-boosting for every student! ��✏️
