I am a lover of STORY and as such have founded many writers groups, one of which is still publishing annual anthologies: THE WRITERS OF CHANTILLY
Taught Creative Writing for years and do book editing, script consulting and am a trusted judge for www.indiebookawards.com This is a world wide contest for published books written in English that is now considered the Sundance of literature.
I have had my scripts optioned and I have gone through the joy - to - agony roller coaster of emotions when they do not get produced.
Although I live in So Cal, I am temporarily back in my home town area: Chicago Land. Working with writing talent who have stories to tell and characters to describe.
My main talents when assisting others is that I am conversant in both Literature and Film. If I am not sitting in a dark theatre, my nose is in a book. Better yet, I am gentle with new writers and can see underlying nuances in their manuscripts that they may have overlooked.
