About

Jacqueline Myers has been improving writing skills since the 1990’s and is still hard at work, struggling to put an end to comma splices and stamp out accidental plagiarism. She has taught writing skills in various capacities including high school composition, English as a Second Language (ESL), developmental college writing, and college composition, as well as academic research and information literacy as an academic instructional librarian. Jacqueline has a B.S. in secondary English education and a M.A. in English. She is an online college English professor and a freelance writer & editor, as well as the owner & writing expert at Nitty-Gritty English, a blog dedicated to supplying academic writing tips to the reluctant college writer. In any spare time she may have, you can find her knitting in front of the fire, puttering in her vegetable garden, snuggling with her husband while watching British TV mysteries or discussing literary theory with her daughter. In her next life, she fervently hopes to come back as a cat, though she understands that would be going down the karmic ladder.

Jacqueline Myers of Nitty-Gritty English knows her stuff--she has created a guide based on long experience and includes several anecdotes from student experiences gone wrong, as well as laying out clear and supportive advice for making the best of online classes.
