Description
For the past 25 years, Jeff has worked with writers and teachers of grades, K-12, inspiring them about the
power and joy of the writing process. He has written four books for Stenhouse Publishers:Â Mechanically
Inclined, Everyday Editing, 10 Things Every Writer Needs to Know and his latest book with Dr.
Deborah Dean of BYU Revision Decisions: Talking Through Sentences and Beyond (November 2014).
He also has two middle grade novels, Zack Delacruz: Me and My Big Mouth (Sterling, 2015) and Zack
Delacruz: Just My Luck (Sterling, October 2016).Jeff grew up in Austin, where he learned to love writing
through journaling, a bit of positive reinforcement, and writing stories and dramas to entertain his friends on
the phone. He wanted to become a teacher early on, but his parents tried to convince him otherwise. 'They
wanted me to make more money.' During an internship visit to a local elementary classroom, he made up his
mind. 'When I saw those curious eyes, kids raising their hands, asking questions, I lost all track of time and
from that moment on, I was a teacher. I want to create environments that feel safe for learners at the
elementary, middle, and university levels and during professional development for teachers. Working
together we figure out things, surprise each other, find our strengths, and experience the joy it is to be a
learner and teacher. We are students and teachers to each other.'Jeff specializes in writing, revision, and
grammar. 'I love the ability to spark curiosity and creativity and to support students in finding their voices.
That's pure joy.' When it comes to his own professional development, he wants to explore things that have
meaning to him in the classroom. 'I want to find out things I didn't know, be affirmed or reminded of what I
do know, and be energized by thinking and action, reflection and application. Since that's what I want, that's
what I give teachers. Something they can take, shape, and make their own. Something they can use right
now.'Jeff's first book Mechanically Inclined, came to life from what he didn't know and what he needed to
know. 'I read, tried things out, played in my head and in my classroom, and read some more, permutating
and refining. I thought about what worked and what didn't, as well as what sound pedagogical principles are
used in other disciplines.'His other books also came from his work in his own classrooms and those across
the United States. The invitational process Everyday Editing is built around was first shared in
workshops until teachers wanted another book on grammar. 10 Things was Jeff's chance to share what
his experience had taught him are the essential things every writer needs to know and be able to do. In his
first collaboration, Jeff and Debbie came together to tackle a sentence combining and its larger effects on
revision and writing.In his free time, Jeff walks his dogs Carl and Paisley or sits on the deck with his partner
Terry. When he's not doing that he reads middle grade novels and his new addiction is nonfiction. Read
