"Just beginning my 16th year of teaching at a well-known Philadelphia university, I work with students in all majors, helping them find their voice in all genres of writing. I’ve also worked one-on-one with students in the university’s writing center. As a full-time professor, I don’t have that opportunity now, and would love to work with you to help you refine your writing skills, whatever the project. A key strategy I use in helping you with your writing process is to encourage you to read your work aloud, to slow down and listen to ways you can tune into your voice on the page.

I’ve worked as a freelance writer and editor, published an historical novel, and continue to work on my own creative projects. I’ve also spent years as a writing workshop facilitator and mentored young writers. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you.

I spend time with my students, encouraging the writing process through drafts and reading of other works. I’m an experienced proofreader, and believe in the interactive process of working with you on your own writing.

If my qualifications and years of experience interest you, please contact me to set up a tutoring session. I look forward to meeting with you." less...
