What is the aim or goal of your writing: I was encouraged to write by my high school English teacher, who encouraged me to attend a writing workshop at the University of Michigan; a love of reading that I acquired from my parents and nurtured at Ishpeming's Carnegie Public Library.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes

Yes and will answer letters from students and teachers.
