Donna Tanzer is a superb and inspiring writer and teacher. Donna revealed her talent for superlative teaching, her ability as a wordsmith, and her passion for great literature while we collaborated on classroom materials that teach high school students about poetry and about Shakespeare. I have had the good fortune to work with talented authors and educators in science, mathematics, history, and language arts. In my experience, Donna is unsurpassed. Any publisher in need of a literature expert who understands the high school and college learner should beat a path to her inbox.

Donna's love of English and drama filled her classroom with motivated and energized children. I would consider myself lucky as a parent to have had my own child as one of her students.
