Author's query re expository writing at Harvard

For the period between 1979 and 1994

From The May-June 2014 Issue

For a book about Harvard’s Expository Writing Program, I would like to hear from alums who took Expos between 1979 and 1994 and would be willing to share memories of their teacher and the course. Please contact Sue Lonoff at lonoffdecuevas@gmail.com.

Published in the May-June 2014 print issue under the headline “Author’s Expos Query,” in the Alumni section.
