Julia Hewitt reads and writes with her high school students at Cabot School in Cabot, Vermont, where she's been a mostly one-person English department since 1985. Her second professional home is the National Writing Project, with which she's been affiliated since 1997. Since 2003, she has served as co-director of the Vermont site, the Green Mountain Writing Project, teaching numerous graduate Writing Project courses at the University of Vermont, including the Summer Institute for teachers of writing. Julia earned a BA in English at Connecticut College in 1983, and in 2017 graduated from Goddard College with her Master of Arts in Education. She is particularly interested in digital composition and the ways it provides an authentic audience for student work. When not engaged in academic pursuits, she enjoys knitting, making baskets, and playing her Celtic harp with the New Hampshire Highland Harp Ensemble and as a volunteer with Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice.
