Experience Summary
I hold a Bachelors in English with a minor in Philosophy and Religion. I have years of experience in business writing and in creative writing and poetry; some work in advertising and PR as well. I read books for money, forecasting pre-publication fiction for the trade magazine Publisher's Weekly. English is the most beautiful, malleable and useful language on earth! Whatever you learn now will greatly assist you in school and in the job market of the future.

| Composition |
Proficiency: Experienced

| Composition is essential in getting your point across. There are not many jobs that do not require some type of communication in writing, so you must have sound composition skills! Get them here! |
| Creative Writing |
Proficiency: Experienced

| Not only have I done this type of writing myself, I have forecasted others' writing for the book trade; since I have a breadth of knowledge of all types of current creative writing, I can help you to release your own creativity, for purposes of schoolwork, or perhaps even publication. |
| Grammar |
Proficiency: Experienced

| Grammar is difficult so it is left untried; however, it is key to accurate communication and communication is life. You must master grammar, or at the very least, come to an understanding of WHY it is important. |
| Literature |
 This is one of my top subjects!

| Having begun to read the Greek myths at about six and continuing from there, I have mastered reading English literature and much American lit as well. All of the creative arts involve literature as each seeks to tell a story. Want to grow in appreciation and understanding? Call me! |
| Poetry |
This is one of my top subjects!
Proficiency: Experienced
|
| A poet at an early age, I edited my college literary magazine, and so have both personal and education-related experience with poetry as an art and as a study subject. Appreciation for songs is typically an appreciate for poetry, as lyrics are the type of poem people are most familiar with. I can help you better understand poems and expand your appreciation, and perhaps discover your own ability! |

| So many common sayings come from Shakespeare's writing! Brushing up your Shakespeare will not only help you in school, but will enhance your understanding of many of the classics of literature as well as modern plays and cinema.
