WHALEBONE WRITERS
Become the best writer you can be!
Writing, next to loving, is the most difficult task we humans do. We wish and hope and even expect it to be easy, but whether we’re writing for our own pleasure or for work, for our classes or community, the challenge, to get the words right, is no small one.
"The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne"- Chaucer

ABOUT ME
I have been committed to writing and helping writers for more than thirty years. My work has been published by major magazines and presses ( Yale University Press, Eastern Washington University Press). More importantly, my experience as a writer ——with all the struggles and the joys—-gives me insight into how to help others be the best writers they can be. I recently retired from twenty years of teaching at Hopkins School, rated the number one private day school in Connecticut; however, my teaching experience throughout my career includes community college and university students and diverse populations from a reservation in Montana to second language students from around the globe.
​
Although I work with writers at any stage, I love working with
-
Resistant writers (I hate writing.)
-
Frustrated writers (I’m no good at writing.)
-
Plateaued writers (I’ve been writing, but I’m stuck.)
-
Skilled writers (The sky’s the limit.)
