I've also taught writing at Chapman University and the University of Southern California (USC). I'm the author of two books, "I Will Shout Your Name" (Press 53) and my nonfiction book for writers: "The Linchpin Writer: Crafting Your Novel's Key Moments" You can take 10 writing courses from me with Bookfox Academy (link below).
