Share a recent accomplishment.
I was added to the Instructor Hall of Fame at General Assembly San Francisco.
What is your favorite textbook writing tip or strategy?
Identify your next step as specifically as possible, and then do it. When that’s done, repeat. Don’t get lost in the larger scope of the product–just focus on what’s next.
What is your best TAA experience so far?
TAA conferences! It’s rare to be surrounded by people who share the experience of text/academic writing, and I eat it up–sharing stories, making new friends, and building a stronger organization together.
