She explores these aspects of writing groups in her books, ''Writing Groups: History, Theory and Implications''<ref name="writingGroups"></ref>, ''Kitchen tables and rented rooms: The extracurriculum of composition''<ref name="genderedLiteracy"></ref> and ''Intimate practices: Literacy and cultural work in US women's clubs, 1880-1920.''<ref name="intimatePractices"></ref> This research has been discussed and adopted into additional work by [[Ken Hyland]]<ref name="hyland_l2writing">{{cite book |last1=Hyland |first1=Ken |title=Second Language Writing |date=2019 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=9781108470711 |pages=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Second_Language_Writing/6DCdDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0}}</ref><ref name="hyland_teachingWriting">{{cite book |last1=Hyland |first1=Ken |title=Teaching and Researching Writing |date=2021 |publisher=Taylor and Francis |isbn=9781000426632}}</ref> and [[Keith James Topping]]<ref name="topping_gereCitation">{{cite journal |last1=Topping |first1=K.J. |title=The effectiveness of peer tutoring in further and higher education: A typology and review of the literature |journal=Higher Education |date=1996 |volume=32 |pages=321-345 |doi=10.1007/BF00138870 |url=https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00138870}}</ref>.

Her work discusses the commonalities and differences among voluntary and involuntary writing groups, where authority originates from individual members or outside sources like teachers. Additionally, she covers the historical, theoretical, and practical implications of writing groups. She argues for a more social approach to writing and aims to transform the dichotomy of writer as solo performer and social actor into a dialogue. Overall, the paper contributes to the rapprochement between writers as solo performers and writers as social actors.

===literacy education===

Gere's research also examines sites of [[literacy education]] in the United States. This work overlaps with her [[archival research]] of writing groups, as writing groups were often cites of literacy education. In addition to her archival research of historic sites of literacy education, she outline modern literacy education in her [[MLA]]-published edited collection ''Into the Field: Sites of Composition Studies''<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gere |first1=Anne |title=Into the Field Sites of Composition Studies |date=1993 |publisher=Modern Language Association |isbn=9780873523981 |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Into_the_Field/xAuOQgAACAAJ?hl=en}}</ref> in a manner similar to [[Deborah Brandt]]. This book defines composition studies through its interdisciplinary relationships with [[rhetoric]], [[literary theory]], and [[linguistics]].
