Congratulations to Laura Moulton in Portland, Oregon.  She has worked with Writers in the Schools (WITS) as well as Writers Outside of the Schools (WOOTS) in Portland.

In 2011 she founded Street Books, a bike-powered cart that provides library services to the homeless.

She was recently awarded a National Book Foundation Grant  for “passion, creativity, dedication, and leadership in the service of creating and sustaining a lifelong love of reading.”

Writers in the Schools (WITS)


Writers in the Schools (WITS) is the #1 arts education organization in Texas. With 80 writers and educators on staff, WITS reaches over 23,000 students a year in classrooms, community centers, museums, parks, and hospitals.

The glory of WITS is best expressed by the students--in their own words -- so this blog features essays, stories, and poems that were created by K-12 students in our program. All material (c) Writers in the Schools 2007-2013. If you wish to republish this work, please credit both the organization and the author and link back to this site.

Supporting WITS will help bring the pleasure and power of reading and writing to more Houston children helping to improve writing skills, build confidence, raise test scores, and enhance creativity.
