I'm a seasoned veteran professor of Creative Writing, Literature, Composition and Critical Thinking, and Big History. I've taught every course in the composition track at several community colleges and universities, and have taught everything from basic skills composition to graduate level Creative Writing. I'm a novelist, a writer of short stories, and a journalist, and have interviewed and written stories on many legendary musicians for Rolling Stone, MTV, Relix, and numerous other publications.
I've guided over 4000 students to their best work. I know how to help students build reading and critical thinking skills, develop their understanding of how essays work from the fundamental structural level to sophisticated, published work, whether in creative writing, or in academic essay and personal essay.
I've worked with ESL students struggling with writing sentences, PhDs honing sophisticated academic work for publication, fiction writers developing and tightening up their novels and screenplays, and journalists preparing their work for publication. I'm an ace editor, with over twenty years of hard-won experience helping writers get to their very best work.
I've taught in many contexts, from one-on-one tutoring to big lecture halls. What I love is helping students see the path from where they are now to where they want to go, and helping you develop the skills you'll need to get yourself there.
I'm also a capable writing coach for more advanced writers, including professionals, academics, and authors.
