Genesis

While m entoring local youth through Canadian Rockies Public Schools, I realized how much I'd learned in the last twenty years of writing that would be of use to developing writers. So, I launched into teaching writing as a freelancer. No stranger to adult education (I was an ESL instructor in Calgary), I found it a natural fit to pursue this new passion.
