The 12 Days of Books: Day 3
Trevor Noah wrote one of the best books that I’ve read all year. His book, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood is phenomenal. It chronicles his life, giving a vivid, compelling, and inspiring account of what it was like growing up in South Africa during apartheid, and the days of freedom after. It’s inspiring,…
The 12 Days of Books: Book 2
Twitter can sometimes be a toxic place, especially since the most recent election. But, when you freelance, and when you create your own work, it’s often a necessary tool in promoting the artistry you create. Cause hey, it’s free advertising! Lately I seek out those like-minded souls who wish to make the world better and…

A Write Teacher(s) Review: Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance
I recently read Hillbilly Elegy, by J.D. Vance. The older I’m getting, the more I want to learn about others. Other communities, other places, other races, other folks who have a different narrative than I do. For how boring would life be if we were all the same? J.D. Vance is a former marine and Yale…
A Write Teacher(s) Review: “Someone Else’s Skin” by Sarah Hilary
I’ve recently fell in love with the author Sarah Hilary, her novel Someone Else’s Skin, and her character Marnie Rome, a Detective Inspector from London, England. It’s a story that spans over four books, and we recently found out that a fifth one is on the way! I absolutely had to share this story with thewriteteachers.com! Sarah…
A Write Teacher(s) Review: It’s Not Dark Yet
“I have ALS. It is a part of who I am, evolving, influencing and living with all the other parts of me. The greatest achievement of my life is that somehow I managed to be the person that Ruth fell in love with. That’s it. And our boys save our lives every day.” I found…
