She has taught at various universities, including Howard, George Mason, and Utah Valley University. Her favorite class is basic composition, featuring the students' personal essays.
Redd is the author of two academic books and four works of fiction. Her 2003 novel, The Dogwood Tree, tells the tale of a divorce heartbreak. Now joy propels The Cowboy & the Cheerleader (2020), an autobiographical novel based on Redd's own surprising love story. It seems only fair-honest, really-that our fiction, even in this world of horrors, includes the lucky life.
