 Hello There!   (or maybe “Good morning!”)

 

I’m a writer, a teller of stories.

I’m also a teacher… more accurately, a mentor.

I’ve been practicing the use of words – and teaching the art of their use – for as long as I can remember.

In the classroom and at my study desk.

In the city room of a couple of pretty fair daily newspapers.

In libraries.

In various coffee shops.

And online.

I work primarily one-on-one with student writers. It’s how I make my living.

Full disclosure: I charge for the work I do.

Even more fully, I have never – and will never – turn a student away because of money.

If you have a son or daughter – junior high through college – who could benefit from working with me, I would consider it an honor and a privilege to talk with you. And thanks to Alexander Graham Bell, Bill Gates, the Other Guy, and everyone who has made teaching and learning a moveable feast, we can talk with one another without leaving the kitchen table, the office, the coffee shop – wherever we are situated and comfortable.

I have more to say, but I have run on too long already, and I will save the rest for Monday morning, and then for each Monday morning thereafter.

Be well!

John – AKA The OH!
