Study with Me

Want to study with me? If you're part of a writers' group, school or other organization and want to bring me out for a guest artist visit, check out the Arrange a Visit page. But even if you can't meet with me in person, we can still work together. Here's how:
Writers University
Whether you're a student looking for a leg up in playwriting, or a teacher who wants a solid playwriting foundation before you teach playwriting to your own students, "Introduction to Playwriting" is an easy, reasonably-priced way to learn the playwriting basics in the comfort of your own home or office. Each week in this month-long online course, you'll be given a series of lessons (e.g. character, structure, setting, etc.) and be assigned writing exercises on which I'll personally give you feedback. Not only that, but you'll have the opportunity to interact with me online and ask questions about playwriting. "Introduction to Playwriting" is part of Writers University, an offshoot of The Writers Store, which has been in the writing business for over two decades. The next session begins on September 12, 2011. To see a detailed course syllabus or to enroll, visit Writers University today!
Virtual Classroom
The next best thing to having me visit in person is to have me as a virtual guest artist. Let me know your needs and parameters, and I'll custom design a course for your students. I've successfully worked with both individual writers and school groups in the past via Skype video conferencing. Whether your school is in the United States or Canada, or as far away as the United Kingdom, Dubai or Australia, a virtual guest artist experience is a possibility!

The Locker Next to Mine Now Available
My new play, The Locker Next to Mine, is now available. It's a full-length drama, though spiked with humor, about teen suicide and dealing with loss. I'm looking for a group to stage the world premiere. Could that be you?
