Since spinning yarns into a portable tape recorder on lazy summer days, I’ve been fascinated by the heart-stopping possibilities of words. I’ve earned two degrees in writing and another in education, devoting myself to writing, editing, and teaching others how to craft their tales. For over twenty years, I’ve taught English, written and edited for educational publishers, conducted workshops, and consulted as a private college application coach who helps students perfect their own success stories to capture the schools of their dreams. Now I’m helping customers tell theirs through engaging web copy, landing pages, blog posts, press releases, interviews, and articles. I’m an author of nine books, regular writer for a number of print and online publications, and winner of a Literary Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Yep, I’m in for writing’s long and lovely haul. I’d love to have you along.
