Episode 104: Marcia Riefer Johnston of Word Up!




The Powder Keg of Awesome show

Summary: Bet you didn't think anyone could make teaching proper grammar both fun and entertaining? Well, you thought wrong. You haven't met Marcia Riefer Johnston, author of Word Up! How to Write Powerful Sentences and Paragraphs (And Everything You Build from Them)" "Marcia used to write letters by the boxful. She has contributed posts to her daughter’s Peace Corps blog, texts to her son’s Droid, and answers to her husband’s crossword puzzles. Her words have landed on billboards, blackboards, birthday cakes, boxes of eggs, and the back of her book. She lives in Portland, Oregon." I got to meet Marcia in Portland this past summer and she is a delight!
