Phenomenal Tutor With Rare Ability
Bill is an incredible teacher; he is so knowledgable about language, structure, syntax etc. But more than his impressive prowess with these important technical and practical aspects of writing, is his almost preternatural awareness of, and love for, the power of words.

From simple exercises that gave me "aha!" moments of learning, to explaining and discussing complex approaches, Bill's advice and guiding will aid me in making my writing more sensitive and attuned to the moods and sensibilities I am trying to share with with my audiences. I cannot recommend Bill highly enough, for any age of writer, at any stage in their career. Our lesson was a supercharged injection of intellectual and literary expansion—just what I needed.
