College-Ready Writing
BetterRhetor CEO | College-Ready Writing Essentials
Welcome to my site! A little info to start: I have a PhD in American Studies from the University of Iowa, and more than thirty years of experience as a writer, editor, and educator. Before launching my company, BetterRhetor, I spent ten years in test development at ACT, Inc., lastly as Director of Writing Assessments. I’ve worked extensively with student writing, gaining a deep understanding of the college-ready writing gap and its causes. BetterRhetor’s groundbreaking five-week classroom resource College-Ready Writing Essentials is steeped in research and experience, and it reflects our passion for helping all students who want a college education succeed in their efforts, regardless of income or background.
