Welcome! My name is Gemma Cooper-Novack, and my life and work revolve around writing.

As an education researcher, currently a doctoral student at Syracuse University, I focus on the intersections of writing pedagogies and social justice, the development of writer identity in community, and the significance of arts education and creative writing in literacy education in and out of school.

As a practicing writer—a poet, a playwright, a fiction writer, and an academic writer-researcher—I derive joy and purpose from my connection with a range of academic, literary, and artistic communities.

As a writing educator and writing coach, I am invested in supporting writers who struggle with structure and practice and teaching in both community education and school settings.

I would love to talk to you! Please feel free to look around the site and contact me below!

Contact me to collaborate on writing, editing, education, and theater!
