Autorentext

Jen and Kristin have been learning from young writers for more than thirty years combined. As classroom teachers and literacy coaches, they have worked in K-5 classrooms and learned how to help kids navigate the messy process of writing. They work as presenters and consultants, and they contribute articles to various websites and blogs. When they aren't teaching, writing, presenting, or chasing after their own kids, Jen and Kristin can be found drinking wine, eating chocolate, and training for half marathons.
