A REQUEST FOR MY FORMER PLAYWRITING & WRITING STUDENTS!
I'm reaching out to former students from my playwriting & writing classes and workshops over the years, including All Original Playwright Workshop in Los Angeles and Knoxville, my online and one-on-one instruction, my summer workshops at Lincoln Memorial University, and my classes at Florida State University, Pellissippi State, and Maryville College.
I'm working on a new book, THE WRITER'S MOTIVATION: How to Get Yourself to Do What You Love, and I'd love your help!
Would you share a short paragraph or anecdote about a memory from one of my classes or workshops when something I said, an exercise we did, or a conversation we had helped you with your writing?
Maybe you were struggling with writer's block, self-doubt, or another obstacle, and something clicked. I'd love to hear your story! I'm hoping to turn some of these memories into chapters to motivate and encourage writers everywhere.
Please email your story to [email protected]. Let me know whether you'd like your name included in the book or would prefer to remain anonymous.
DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 15, 2026. You have one month to send me your story!
Thank you for being a special part of my teaching journey. I look forward to hearing from you!
