In the summer of 2001, teachers came from the urban and suburban areas of the greater Detroit area to share their vast knowledge and experience in the Language Arts. As part of the Meadow Brook Writing Project, elementary, middle school, high school and college level educators became authors. In the Company of Writers is the wonderful result of their efforts to hone and challenge their personal writing skills. With an enhanced understanding of the writing process and a wealth of knowledge gained from MBWP, these dedicated teachers returned to their classroom to inspire their students to become writers.
