Erika’s work with Adam began in 2020 when she she sought out Adam’s guidance with one goal in mind: “Become a better writer,” and since then she has been writing soul-searching essays and poems about mental health, physical disability, sexuality (particularly bisexuality), rape and sexual assault, the writing process, and a variety of other topics. In addition to writing and managing content for the blog, Erika brings her experience as a social worker and educator to the website where she develops instructional tools, and manages forums and writing groups to enhance the collaborative learning experience for students and to help showcase the work of guest writers.

Adam is a teacher and tutor with over ten years’ experience. Shortly after graduating from Columbia University, Adam began to tutor young people one-on-one, usually in English, Writing, Math, or standardized testing. As part of the PhD program at Stony Brook, Adam taught intro-level classes in Poetry, Fiction, and Drama. In recent years, Adam has been developing a curriculum based on the idea that creative writing is a better tool for learning how to write than the formulaic essays one practices in English and History classes.
