About Me

Hello! I’m Alex, a passionate children’s writer with three years of experience in the publishing world. My journey as an author has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited to share my knowledge and expertise with aspiring writers through personalized, one-on-one creative writing workshops.

About Me:

- Published Author: With several published works in the children’s genre, I bring firsthand experience and insights into the writing and publishing process.
- Creative Mentor: I specialize in providing tailored critique and guidance to help writers refine their craft and bring their stories to life.
- Passionate Storyteller: My love for storytelling drives me to help others discover and develop their unique voices.

Education

It's actually quite funny. Although my educational background is in computer science, and I have a computer science degree, that's not the path I ultimately took in my life. I'm a self-taught author.

Experience / Qualifications

A lifetime of developing a creative practice. Three-plus years of experience in the publishing industry, writing children's fiction and performing at Literary Festivals.

Preparing for, and Improving, College Composition and Reading
Despite advances in AI and other technologies, the core practice of excelling in college remains reading comprehension and essay writing. While these tools can act as a band-aid, they do not help students with foundational learning skills overall. With five years of experience in teaching college composition, I am aware of the gaps between high school and college literacy with which many students enter. My course will focus on filling such gaps to improve prospective and current students' overall reading and writing skills to aid in textbook comprehension and essay writing for any class they may attend. In attending my course, you will practice: - 1:1 help with essay edits and writing - Reading and critical engagement with excerpts from typical college material - Short writing drills to improve overall writing towards a college level - Line editing and peer review
