We are currently at our home in Sherman, Texas. This is the view from my bed. We have a wonderful upstairs master suite that includes this bedroom, which is charmingly quirky. There are three windows in this room, two in alcoves that are about 5 feet tall; the third at the top of a very high wall, which is cut out above the bed. (I’ve included a photo, but it’s not very easy to see just how lovely it is.) These rooms, with their simple painted walls, are a stark contrast from the downstairs of this house, which is covered in colorful Victorian wallpaper. The upstairs master suite offers a respite from all that busyness, which is exactly what we wanted. Here is the place to come when you want to hide away and rest. It is one of my favorite places in the world.

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."
