The magic of words.

I reside in New Zealand after living more than forty years in Japan. I originally traveled to Japan to study and practice the martial art of Shodokan Aikido. I worked as an English teacher for over 35 years and hold a TEFL diploma. I am also a writer and have completed two novels under the pseudonym Marty Walpole. I am married to a Japanese woman, and we have two adult children. My goal is to write freelance and author fiction and non-fiction novels. Please view my blog at [login to view URL] Thank you.

Need 2-3 NATIVE ENGLISH Writers For Long Term Writing!

Marty56 did a great job with the article writing assignment. The articles were submitted on time, were well researched and did not contain any spelling/grammar mistakes. He also did a good job of injecting personality into the articles. Looking forward to working with him more in the future.
