Welcome!

I am writer and instructor specializing in educational writing and writing for teens. This may      sound like an odd combination, but these specialties are actually quite similar! Each audience requires a specific touch. As an instructor, I've taught creative and technical writing at the high school and college levels, and am currently a faculty member for an online university, teaching  creative writing, freelance writing, composition, and literature.

As a teens' writer, I focus on nonfiction and fiction. Why this age group? It's my favorite! Writing for teens lets me write about important issues. I am the author of several nonfiction books for teens and have written a young adult novel, which is currently in the submission process. My nonfiction work includes several titles and a variety of freelance credits. My recent work focuses on historical and contemporary issues, biographies, literature, and careers.

I hold a Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children and Teenagers from Vermont College and am a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I've worked with a number of publishers and businesses including Enslow Publishers, Ferguson (Facts on File), Rosen Publishing Group, Writers Online Workshops (Writer's Digest), and Frank Shaffer Publications.
