I am a top of the line Creative Writing coach. I give feedback, tips, mentorship, and more than all else will teach you how to write consistently, and how to entertain an audience. If you are someone ... who pictures themselves one day creating music or cinematic experiences on the grandest stage of all I am the tutor for you. I can cater my lesson plans to any age and experience level I have taught from middle school all the way to M.F.A students. My goal is to help creatives struggling to manifest their inner artist. I am an M.F.A student from SIUC with a lot of experience and a lot of connections and opportunities, who can play both as a tutor and a networker for talented writers. I myself have written over 1000 pages in my first year of grad school while maintaining a part time job, and being a full time student. I can take that idea for a book that you have been mulling over for the past decade, and bring it to life within months. In my course there are several options of focus-- they are as follows; Story structure(s), character structure, good vs bad dialogue, Defeating Writer's Block, writing for TV, writing for feature film, writing for short film, Genre accuracy, songwriting, and how to speak with executives. Before meeting we will discuss what you are most interested in learning, and how it is best to go about learning them. No matter your current level or your artistic field. If you want to begin to professionalize your craft, please reach out and make you the best writer you can be.read more

Hi, my name is Andrew, and I am a graduate student at SIUC with an undying passion for writing. I am from Evanston IL which is a suburb bordering Chicago. I wake up every morning around 6:00 am and wr... ite for roughly four hours. This has been my routine the past few years and it has emboldened me to take major risks as an artist. I am currently apart of three different production companies holding three distinct roles. I am the owner of my startup, I am Creative Director of a local production startup, and a production assistant on a film crew. I have written 12 feature length films, three short films, 25 episodes of TV, and composed 25 songs since March of 2020. I am self taught in music composition, teaching myself Bass guitar, piano, and songwriting. An extremely hard worker who loves to bring the drive out of his students. The person does not exist, who is without talent-- my passion is making people understand and manifest their genius so they become free thinking individuals who cannot be taken advantage of by systems of power. Writing is power-- I will teach you how to wield your thinking on the page and articulate it in a way that makes you a force to be reckoned with. As a person of color with learning disabilities, the main group I urge to reach out to me are in that same wheelhouse. To be clear, anyone struggling with writing or wanting to become better or more professional-- please don't hesitate to reach out! I specify POC's because I have first hand experience on how the system tries to attack, and I insist on teaching people how to defend. If you are a student struggling to realize yours-- I urge you to reach out to me so I can help you pass the class or meet whatever goal you have set out. I have never failed in making someone realize their importance, and I will not fail with you. Please, if you will, allow me to teach you how to write, so you can learn how to think, so you can think for yourself, and be on the offensive when it comes to the world.read more
