- Professional Summary
- Linda Tate, PhD, offers a full range of writing and editorial services for K-16 education. From copywriting to project development, from curriculum needs to copy editing and proofreading, Linda translates complex ideas into understandable text – and does so for a broad range of audiences: parents and students, district and school administrators, teachers and thought leaders, scholars and community members.
Holding a doctorate in English and honored as the 2003 West Virginia Professor of the Year, Linda brings over 25 years of college and university teaching experience to her work as an education writer. When her teaching know-how meets her roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-to-work writing style, Linda delivers what her clients need: engaging copy that gets the job done.
Linda has developed, written, and/or edited books, brochures, promotional pieces, flyers, fact sheets, web content, PowerPoint presentations, online course modules, reports, interview-based feature articles, letters, press releases, and more.
As an education writer, Linda focuses her work on student health and wellness and on technology integration for humanities and language arts education. Linda is also an active writer and scholar who can bring academic excellence to your development, writing, and editing projects. Her particular expertise is in American Studies, with an emphasis on regional literature, history and culture.
