I am Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of English at Miami University. I am also an affiliate faculty member in the Department of Emerging Technology in Business and Design.
My book, Writing Workflows: Beyond Word Processing (written with Derek Van Ittersum), was published by the University of Michigan Press in 2020 and is available in two open access formats: epub and web-based. Derek and I also published a textbook chapter based on our research, which is available in the Writing Spaces: Volume 4 open access textbook.
I also make Commonplace, a personal reading tracker for iPhone and iPad. It's a reading app that follows my own practices and preferences: you can track stories from Clarkesworld next to the novels you read, and there's a phase-based notetaking system, so you can note who recommended the book you just added or capture your feeliings about the one you just finished. There are no accounts, no advertisements, and no tracking; your library lives on your devices and in your own iCloud account.
Free on the App Store. Requires iOS 17 or later.
