I teach fiction writing through UCLA Ex. Writing Program, and my own academy online where I focus on Experimental Writing, which I also teach through Writers College when I have time. I have nearly 200 story and poetry publications in journals as well as 4 novelettes. Also 4 chapbooks and 2 full length books, with 2 others coming out later from Make-Do and from Dog Horn. I also promote other writers of the genre through publishing e-chapbooks, contests, reviews, a magazine and a resource site. I got my MA from FSU and my MFA from Iowa in the late 80s.

I'm not really looking for help with individual pieces as they're in final form being in journals and books, but appreciate your comments very much.

I reserve the right not to comment on anyone's rhyming poetry, not the thing for me, for reading requests. I'm glad to see everyone here writing and interacting so enthusiastically.
