For years, I’ve taught a class called “Style in Prose” at the university level. A guilty pleasure, truly. To hear beautiful sentences each week… to see my students glow after making a beautiful sentence of their own—so lovely!
Then I wrote a book, “How to Write Stunning Sentences,” and a second edition is scheduled for January 2026. Creative writing professors emailed me to say, “Love this! I’m using it to teach!” A student emailed me the other day and wrote, “Taking your class has turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made as a writer. For the first time in my life, I feel a sense of control, like I am garnering tools that will help me enhance my understanding of well-written prose and make me a better writer.”
My passion (nerdiness) runs deep. I put together another book, Stunning Sentences: A Creative Writing Journal. A second edition is scheduled for January 2026.
