January 11, 2022
Becoming a skilled writer takes practice. On today’s Writer’s Workshop episode, Juanita covers a writing exercise that you can use all year long: the focus word. Juanita Wootton-Radko is an enthusiastic reader, writer, and collector of books. When not at the library, she can often be found lurking about “used book” stores. Her lifelong passion for words has led to an equal passion for the structure of language and the grammatical tools we use to communicate. Juanita works at RTI Publishing as the Book Project Manager and resident “Grammar Guru”. She is the recurring co-host on the Author to Authority Podcast with Kim Thompson-Pinder and hosts the Writer’s Workshop episodes. Want a free sample of Kim’s newest book, Author To Authority?
