New Class!

September 29, 2008

I really loved teaching my freelance writing classes locally for the past few years. But with my shift to food writing and a kid who has a more vibrant social life than I, teaching was one thing I had to cut out in the last year. However, I’ve figured out a way to teach online. [...]
