My adult students range in ages from 18-80. Some of my students are late in life emerging writers who have taken up writing after retiring from their careers. Many of my students are mid-career writers who enjoy a weekly deadline and feedback from their fellow writers. I teach both privately online with classes of six. The classes are on weekend nights or weekday mornings. For in-person classes, I teach at New York Theater Workshop as well as the Einhorn School of the Arts at Primary Stages.
Here are some of my students and their recent successes—
