Hi, I am looking forward to working with you. I am also into writing my own textbooks in grammar and literature. I have a collection of stories, poems and essays which I mostly wrote while my college students were writing their pieces in class. I have a great sense of humor based on my students' reactions to my pieces. I do not copy from anyone as a practice. My TOEFL score way back 1991 was 637/660; TWE 5.5/6.0; and TSE Pronunciation 3.0/3.0, Grammar/Fluency 2.8/3.0, and Overall Comprehensibility 300/300. How soon do I begin? Thank you very much. less

I am interested in your posting. My experience and background are diverse, and my creative writing and re-writing skills are exceptional. I have had articles published on-line at wildlifeextra.com, I have written a few fantasy stories (unpublished except for possibly one), edited work, drafted marketing material and written descriptive text (published) for an artist's brochure, written original and refined content material, and written (and re-written) speeches; and, except where inappropriate have written with levity. I indicated a time frame which is flexible once I see and get a sense of the work that you want done as I put considerable thought and effort into my work.
