      Private Consultant and Leader of Writing Workshops at Grub Street and WIlson Avenue Writers

      I love to work with both young and old, seasoned and novice writers. I'm fascinated by how knowledge in one art form can be applied to others.As a teacher, I help students develop the habits of mind that will serve them throughout their lives. My workshops are known to be both rigorous and inspiring; they're also a lot of fun. Please check out my new book: The Death of Fred Astaire--and Other Essays From a Life Outside the Lines (SUNY Press). Available from Indiebound and Amazon.
