My specialties also include promoting authors and books around the world wide web as well as in magazines, newspapers and literary journals.

My teaching and research has taken me to 35 states and 4 countries. I have been privileged to be able to work with teens, young adults, and adults in a variety of different settings.

My staff development with teachers has included extensive work in the urban Abbott Districts of New Jersey. Companies that I have consulted for include Harcourt Brace, Scholastic, Sadlier, and Boyds Mills Press.
