FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I do no formal coursework, but as an author who publishes new material all the time I remain current not only about trends in nonfiction and fiction, but also in the sciences, history, philosophy, economics, sports and leisure, and education.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
As part of a high school assignment I wrote a short story for an honors English class. The teacher set aside two full days to read my story aloud to the entire class and to praise its beauty repeatedly. She then sent my story to a magazine, which published it. At age 18, therefore, I knew I could write well.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
There is no typical job. Sometimes I must focus on grammar and mechanics. At other times I must focus on accuracy of information. At still other times I must work to reorganize a person's ideas. Some or all of these issues may engage me at once.
