Creative Writing Tutoring
This is one of my top subjects!
I have an MFA in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and have had 11 short stories published. I also edited the award-winning children's book Lucas the Traveling Crab by David Rawding.
Experience Summary
I have over 15 years experience in a writing, editing, and reporting capacity covering news and publishing industries, and higher education. I also have formal training and education on how to edit, write and give formal, positive feedback for improving manuscripts and texts.
My work has appeared in numerous publications and periodicals. I have written and edited internal medical and high-tech documentation, sports articles, literary criticism, children's books, and fiction, among others.
I also have served as a lecturer for undergraduate and high school creative writing and composition courses for four years.
Teaching Style
I try to empower students to learn how to improve their writing. I start by showing what works well, the strengths of the piece itself. I then show them what can be improved in the work with further revision. I often will use examples of first drafts of famous and acclaimed authors, and sometimes use my own work as an example of poor first drafts and how a work can improve with revision. I have a passion for writing and literature that is usually contagious.
My Hobbies
Writing, reading, movies, running, cooking.
