About Me
My background includes
- *I have been a published writer and assisted fellow writers for nearly two decades.
- *I’m a weekly columnist for United Press International's Religion and Spirituality Forum, as well as posted at numerous online venues where my articles are read around the world.
- *I've assisted new authors to get their manuscripts, short stories, and e-books ready to submit to agents or to self-publish. This includes fiction and non-fiction; the latter includes subjects from real estate investing to complimentary medicine.
- *I've assisted people with their newsletter content from writing articles to re-writing articles to editing articles down to bare bones so they fit the space provided. It was my privilege to do this for three years for one of Paul Newman's non-profit organizations.
- I’ve assisted non-profit organizations by editing their grant proposals, and have edited treatments for an Emmy-nominated documentary film producer.
- I've worked with new or hesitant writers to help them start writing and complete their manuscripts.
- My self-published books and e-books include, I Don't Want to be Your Guru, but I Have Something to Say; How to Have What You REALLY Want; Law of Attraction Alchemy (and a companion download to create the cards); Write, Get Published, and Promote: An Easy E-Guide for New and Aspiring Writers (available at this site); and Reinvent Yourself: Refuse to Settle for Less in Life and Business. All are available at lulu.com. (I offer the e-book for writers through my Web Store on this site and free to Critique clients.)
One of my greatest joys is to assist new writers. They tend to need the most guidance and appreciate that I encourage them, give quality and honest feedback, and assist them with the creative and technical aspects of their writings.
