About the lesson

Writing is difficult. It is more difficult when we do it alone. When you get stuck with a writing project of any kind, the bet way to get unstuck is to share your project with an experienced writer and editor. For nearly 18 years, I have helped writers to find effective, creative solutions to the problems that all writers face. I will listen to your goals, read your drafts, and give you specific advice for creating practical, practice-based improvements to whatever aspects of writing you find most challenging.

About Matthias

I hold a Masters degree in Creative Writing from Boston University and a Ph.D. in Literature from the University of Chicago. For ten years, I taught English full time at North Central College. I know how to help you with writing projects of all kind, from personal essays to dissertations in the humanities. As a former director of a college Writing Center, I can help students tackle writing projects large and small. I am the author of several poetry collections as well as scholarly works. I have edited several professional literary and academic journals. As a professional writer, I can help you to improve creative and critical works for submission.
