One of the things I enjoy most is getting to talk to people who want to write. I’ve made many mistakes in my quest to write and sell a good story, and learned from at least some of them. I’ve also met and listened to some of the great writers in the field.
So, I have many things to say, but often I find myself starting from scratch when I am given the opportunity to teach a class.
This page is thus a store room, where I can stash teaching resources I may need again. Feel free to look around.

Converting Manuscripts to Book Format:
While this is more a publishing resource, rather than a writer’s resource, if does give insight into why certain features of the standard manuscript form are used. A short manuscript is converted into the form used by a trade paperback.
