Recently I was asked for some photos of my writing, editing, tutoring and other literacy-related activities. I have lots of pictures from such activities, but since I am usually the person behind the camera (being the communications person for many of these events), there are only a few photos of myself among them. Still, here are a few examples of the kinds of literacy activities I’ve been involved in the past few years…
