I have been teaching writing since 2001 at the University level, but I'd love to work with people of any age to help with any part of the creative process.

I am particularly good at helping people get into good schools (writing samples/essays) or cleaning things up for writing contests or to submit for publication.

Of course, I do help with assignments as well.

DM me if interested

I looked up your other posts and concluded that you could use some help, for example:

Quote:
i have seen so many people texting on I95 that i have started to avoid driving on it. today i took A1A everywhere I went and then drove west to appointments and back east to A1A - although I almost got hit head on by a pickup truck who veered out of his lane anyway, i couldn't see high enough to know if he was reading a txt, but it seems the likely explanation.
The personal pronoun needs to be capitalized, as should the first letter of the first word of a sentence.

"...pickup truck who veered.."
should be:
..pickup truck which veered....
The word "anyway" should be dropped from the sentence since the "despite" reference is not identified.
The above is from a post of yours in:
Driving slow in the left lane/talking on cell phones

Later in the thread you have another post:
Quote:
I agree 100%. . . and fwiw, i am not the world's greatest driver, although i'm more competent than many, it seems, scarily enough, and i've been known to steer a stick shift porsche with my knee in the fast lane while applying mascara, but even i'm smart enough to know better than to txt and drive, and rarely do i answer the phone while driving.
That's something of a run on sentence, is it not? Should it not be:
"I am not the world's greatest driver. Scarily enough, while I'm more competent than many, I have been known to steer a stick shift Porsche with my knees while driving in the fastlane and applying mascara. At least I am smart enough to know better than to text and drive, and I rarely answer the phone while driving."
