Dr. Lynn Hammond grew up loving literature, sometimes reading surreptitiously under her blanket when she was supposed to be sleeping. Since earning her Ph.D. from USC in English in 1974, she’s devised creative techniques to help others find joy in writing and literature. This led to her co-creating the Bard Writing and Thinking Institute, which trains English teachers around the country to make their classes more creative, more effective, and, well, fun.
