In each of these positions, she worked with developmental writing instructors, maintaining her early interest in the area.

Her many years of experience talking and working with hundreds of developmental writing instructors across the country, and developing textbooks that meet the needs of these instructors and their students, have culminated in Real Writing and Real Essays.
