During his second year in China, Wolfe started the popular blog (Laowai Chinese) to share what he was learning about the Chinese language. The blog got the attention of publishers and he produced a printed book (Chinese 24/7) in the same casual style as the blog.

In 2015 he and a colleague at Peizheng College published a training manual (Coach Them to Speak) for the many foreign teachers who come to China with very little teaching experience.

In 2017 he and the same colleague, Elizabeth Mitchell, founded The Fountains and published The Fountains Teachers Guidebook as a way to explain the teaching philosophy and also provide training resources for the staff.
