Writing Lessons in Prattsville. Amazing Teachers.

I have been writing for an online arts magazine for the past five years, so I believe I can provide my students with some great tools in their writing process. Whether it's creative writing or essay writing, I can help you organize and articulate your thoughts and opinions.

I'd love to assist you with appearing your most articulate, professional and polished in your resume or other project. I'll help you tighten up your writing while injecting just the right amount of personality and creativity (where applicable). I can also help you be a FASTER writer with tips I've given my kids, ages 11 and 12, over the years. They are amazing writers, both currently penning adventure novels they hope to publish.

Impeccable spelling, grammar, and spoken and written presentation were instilled in me as basic values, as I grew up with a newspaper editor for a dad. I have outstanding experience as a resume and cover letter writer, professional blogger, email copywriter, emagazine editor, content calendar manager, and social media growth maven.

I'm also a longtime professional singer-songwriter, witty social media influencer, life purpose coach, and podcast host, producing content weekly.

I have both taught this subject as a tutor to private students and taught it in a classroom setting. I have done so for over twenty years.

I make writing for any occasion accessible, engaging, and fun through an easy, step-by-step process. I’ll teach you to become a confident, creative, and strategic writer. We’ll start with a self-assessment to help you identify your strengths and areas for improvement. We can also address issues of tone, authenticity, and credibility in your writing.

I can help you with academic, business and personal writing.
In additional to my experience teaching composition and business writing at universities and community colleges, I also have years of professional experience writing and reviewing contracts, grants, strategic plans, and mission and vision statements.

Here are some things I can help you to create or improve:
