Writing Coach

Writing Rules!

Private youth and adult writing Teacher

I specialize in short stories, poetry, personal essays, memoir, and college essays. With my guidance, many of my students have won writing contests and/or published their pieces in literary journals, anthologies, magazines, or e-zines.

Many of my high school and college students

have been admitted to their first choice undergraduate and graduate schools due in

large part to their superlative personal statements and college essays.

Sessions are conducted either in person in

Los Angeles or on the phone/Internet.

"There is no one I trust more with my essays, Len turns average writing into extraordinary works of art. The 1,500 mile gap between us

had no effect on how efficiently we were able to prepare my college application essays. I couldn't be more pleased with them and I'm excited to see what doors they have opened for me. She is truly fantastic."

An Evening with Ira Glass

Tonight we went with friends to see Ira Glass from NPR’s This American Life. This is the second time I’ve heard him speak and it’s always funny and inspirational. For those of you who don’t know This American Life, let me say that it’s one of the best “truth-life” programs on all of radio. We listen as often as we can and we are never disappointed.

Here is one of the classic shows: A Poultry Slam

Listen and enjoy this hour-long show.

We were up at 5:30 in order to volunteer at the homeless breakfast this morning. It is 11:55 now, so I am headed to bed.

Good night, my friends.
