Yellowlees Douglas

Yellowlees Douglas has actually checked all the boxes for teaching writing. She has spent four decades teaching writing and enjoyed a career as a copywriter for Fortune 500 clients, in addition to directing six writing programs. She has also conducted extensive research on the reading brain and its implications for teaching writing in virtually every discipline—from anthropology to neurosurgery and management. In addition, she road-tested her easy-to-follow principles with publications in nearly two dozen disciplines. Her publications include articles in composition, film, performance studies, sociology, organizational behavior, computer science engineering, ophthalmology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and critical care medicine. She has also spent the past decade training teachers and students in K-12 schools on using the Reader's Brain Method to dramatically improve student writing outcomes.
