Answers from Alan
What have your past employers loved about you?
I'm a top-notch editor and story doctor, provide perfect grammar and punctuation, and am loved by clients for drawing out, with minimal edits, the gem that a story is trying to become. My first book was a finalist for the Southern California Booksellers Award. Steve Martin also lost.
I was also a finalist for the 2003 PEN-USA Award in Journalism.
I've taught Feature Wrting at Santa Monica College, Creative Writing at Cal State Long Beach and Cal State Dominguez Hills, and Magazine and Newspaper Journalism at Chapman University, Concordia, and UCLA Extension....
