Bio

Heather Ordover, an award winning New York City high school teacher, transitioned into writing full time after ten years in the classroom. Ordover started as project manager/writer on several large, urban core curriculum initiatives for Kaplan K-12 Learning Services. While her children were small she fell back to writing part time and has stayed writing ever since.
Since leaving the high school classroom she has written online content for Pearson's CD-ROM Elements of Grammar, Teacher's Notes for Scholastic's Literary Cavalcade, and several online masters-level courses in education for Kaplan Online University. Along with writing for education, Ordover has written and recorded essays for Cast-On: A Podcast for Knitters and currently hosts her own long-running online podcast, CraftLit: A Podcast for Crafters Who Love Books (think "books on tape with benefits"). Her crafty writing has appeared in Spin-Off (2008, 2009), WeaveZine, Big Apple Parent, and The Arizona Daily Star. She currently teaches writing at the University of Arizona in Tucson, where she lives with her wonderful husband, her two goofy sons, their vigilant dogs, and a single, mournful, blue tongued skink.
