Allison Marchetti and Rebekah O'Dell are in business together, AND they're good friends. They've taught middle and high school students at all levels, in both public and independent schools, and from inclusion to AP and IB classes. Now, they travel the country to work with teachers and students to provide inspiration, helping educators do the hard-and-transformative work of teaching writing. Allison and Rebekah believe in the power of choice, authenticity, and students' voices in the reading and writing classroom.
