I’m a jack of all trades - though I think they’re all aspects of the same trade, just expressed in different ways. One of my ‘trades’ is teaching. I have a profile on skillshare where I’m in the process of imparting all the knowledge I have on writing, writing romances, ghostwriting etc.
The purpose of my teaching is to
Impart what knowledge I have to others as they keep asking me questions and
To establish myself as an expert in the field.

I don’t know if this is even coherent but the point is, I can teach you how to write. I’ve done it for like the last forty years. So click on my skillshare where you can not only access the lesson but also the project and we can be in conversation about what you need, or how I can help.
