As a professional writer, I write and sell more than 50 nonfiction articles a year. I also write in other genre -- poetry, fiction, film. I have been teaching the craft of writing for more than 30 years, and it is my experience that everyone is a writer -- every single student whom I have ever had in a class, on-site or online. The course is just a matter of discovering that writer and establishing some boundaries. My educational background includes a B.A. degree in English literature from Eckerd College and a M.A. degree in English literature from the University of South Florida. I have been a professional writer and editor for more than 25 years.
