About the Author
Hawthorne practices what he preaches. He also writes features, profiles and opinion columns for a leading Texas education magazine.
“The Radical Write is high concept, low stress. Your students will laugh and cry while they learn. Hawthorne proves textbooks don't have to be brain-scaldingly boring.”
Dr. Scott Winter, Bethel University, Minneapolis, MN
