You-Can-Teach-Writing is about
equipping teachers
for teaching nonfiction writing

You-Can-Teach-Writing.com is designed for folks who don't feel up to the task of teaching nonfiction writing but have to do it anyway.

If you are one of those folks, You-Can-Teach-Writing will provide you with resources and strategies for teaching nonfiction writing to students from seventh grade on into college and career.

At You-Can-Teach-Writing, our job is
equipping teachers for teaching writing.

Site emphasis: We leave teaching writing to students under 13 to others. Our emphasis is teaching ordinary teen-age and adult students to write efficiently and effectively when their instructor or job demands that they write. We leave fiction journal-writing, video creation and the like to others.

Site ownership: You-Can-Teach-Writing is the brainchild of Linda Aragoni. Linda's background is politely called eclectic. Her publication experience includes newspapers, magazines, books, and ephemera; her instructional experience includes teaching writing at online and traditional colleges.

Site origins: After 30 years writing and editing for hire, Linda decided to write books under her own name. She began You-Can-Teach-Writing in 2008 as a platform for marketing those books.

Site offerings: You-Can-Teach-Writing has over 300 web pages accessible free to the public, including no-registration-required forums where teachers may share ideas and problems and where students can request essay help. Additional free resources are available only to registered subscribers of the site e-zine, Writing Points.
