Janet Ruth Heller is interviewed about her writing career in the article "College Professor Becomes Full-Time Writer." This interview was posted on January 10, 2018 on the website SimpleK12, which focuses on providing information for teachers. Here is one paragraph from the interview: Tell us a little about your work. I do a lot of public speaking in libraries, schools, bookstores, and at conferences. I do poetry readings, and I read my essays and published fiction for children. I speak about many books and DVDs that help children and families deal with bullying. I do creative writing workshops for both children and adults. Usually, I write at home. I also get great ideas while I’m traveling and often write new work.
