Start Summer off with a Splash! Choose an Item and We Will Send It to You
We hope you are starting your summer off with a splash! Ours sure started out that way. ☺ Many of you may not know this, but WriteSteps is a virtual company. We have people on our team from all over. It is a rare occasion when we are able to get together in one place and see each other “face to face.”

Bob Wagner, Mario DAgostino, Suzanne Klein, Lisa Leucht, Jan Polavin, Anjilla Young, Kim Gates, Cheryl Daniel, Jean Wiley, Arlynn King, Shelly Wilson, Herman Humes, Joanna Van Raden (missing teammates from Nevada, Missouri, New York, Illinois, Georgia, and more!)
We were able to kick off our summer together recently! It was an amazing day filled with great people, food, a pontoon boat, and of course some fun in the sun. We started the day with a visit to a WriteSteps school in Saginaw and ended the day out on the water. It reminded us why we are doing what we do at WriteSteps: creating stronger writers.

Since we are not a large publisher, we really love it when teachers and principals help us spread the word about what we are doing at WriteSteps. Through word of mouth, we are proud to say we have teachers all over that are part of the WriteSteps family. If you love WriteSteps, would you like to have any of the items below to help us spread the word? You can take these to conferences, district and county-wide in-services, and share them with anyone you think should know about WriteSteps.

Here are some items we can send you that you can distribute:
  • Business cards with links to our free trial
  • Sticky notes (Keep some for your own class too! ☺)
  • WriteSteps brochures
Email [email protected] if you would like any of the tools above to help spread the word. Tell her which items you would like from the list, the quantity you need, and your address. We will then send you the material! Have any suggestions of what else we can equip you with? Let us know. See below for more photos from our party.
