What educators say

“Our visit with Jenn Bishop was wonderful! Not only was she willing to see hundreds of students, she was able to connect with each student on some level. She was willing to share failures and how they turn into successes. She was willing to share hard parts of life and how positive outcomes can occur. She was able to help our students understand the importance of revision and how writing is really hard! Every single student had a takeaway, and I had too many to name!”

— Angie Hull, 6th grade teacher, Sells Middle School (Dublin, OH)
