Conveying ideas through well structured and eloquent prose is a skill required throughout the school years and adulthood. Many students and adults also wish to explore or strengthen their fiction and creative nonfiction writing skills.

I offer individualized instruction, guidance and feedback on all forms of writing to all types of writers.

If you are a high school junior or senior – or the parent of one – preparing for the college application process, please see College Applicants.

If you are the parent of an elementary, middle or high school student who needs help with homework and writing assignments, or who loves stories and wants to write their own, see Student Writers.

If you are an adult looking for support and feedback for your writing, see Fiction & Nonfiction Writers.
