About the Author:

Author Michelle McLean spent 98% of her formative years with her nose in a book indulging in her love of reading and research. She has a B.S. in History, a M.A. in English, has insane eclectic tastes, and tends to be a bit of an organized mess with an insatiable love of books.

When Michelle's not editing, reading or chasing her kids around, she can usually be found in a quiet corner working on her next book. She resides in PA with her husband and two children, an insanely hyper dog, and two very spoiled cats.

Review:

"A no-nonsense narrative approach that allows all students, including those with learning disabilites, to accomplish what once felt impossible--writing a strong and compelling essay. Homework Helpers: Essays and Term Papers [is] an invaluable resource for students from middle school through college."
--Christine Fonseca, MS, PPS, school psychologist and author of Emotional Intensity in Gifted Students

"What Michelle McLean has done in Homework Helpers: Essays and Term Papers has singlehandedly demystified the writing process in a series of succinct chapters that are informative, clear, and, in many cases, downright funny. This book would be a good companion to the MLA text in any college bookstore, and I would recommend it to my colleagues as an alternative to the stuffy and overwritten texts currently in use."
--Suzanne M. Palmieri, student support and retention specialist, QU Online Adjunct Faculty, Sociology
