Literary & Dramatic Writing, Taught by an Award-Winning Playwright and Screenwriter
I bring a working writer's perspective to every lesson, grounded in a BA in Theatre Arts and English Literature and years of professional playwriting and screenwriting. My approach treats craft as something learnable: we break down structure, character, dialogue, and voice into concrete tools rather than abstract talent.
Teaching Method: I combine close textual analysis (studying published plays, screenplays, and prose) with hands-on writing exercises. Students learn by imitating strong models, then applying those techniques to their own work. I emphasize revision as the real engine of good writing—first drafts are just raw material.
Typical Lesson: We start by reviewing the student's most recent pages or a target text, discuss what's working structurally and dramatically, then move into a focused technique (e.g., scene structure, subtext, exposition) with a short writing exercise applying it. Lessons end with clear, actionable notes for the next draft.
What Sets Me Apart: I've written across mediums—plays, screenplays, comedy, and prose—so I can adapt instruction to whatever form a student is working in, rather than teaching one narrow style.
Who This Is For: High school and college students (AP Lit, creative writing majors, thesis writers), aspiring playwrights/screenwriters, and adult writers seeking structured, professional feedback on literary or dramatic manuscripts.
