Testimonials

"Scott is one of the most competent, professional, and able freelance writers I’ve known. We’ve worked together 20 years, and I hope we work together another 20. Scott has many lessons to impart to entry-level, intermediate, and advanced freelancers. He’s been around almost every block that writers traverse."
Lou Schuler, Former Fitness Director
Men’s Health Magazine



"Scott has been an invaluable member of our program, bringing not only a strong practical orientation to the business of writing, but also mentoring our students with a passion for his art. Scott is the consummate professional, a delightful man, witty, articulate, and a great motivator of writing students of all ages."
Kirwan Rockefeller, Ph.D., Dir. of Arts & Humanities
University of California, Irvine



"One of the principal things that Scott brings to both the teaching of feature writing and English composition is an intuitive understanding of how students learn to write better through a combination of practice, encouragement, and careful instruction. In my experience, people who can teach writing are rare and, hence, extremely valuable, and Scott certainly is on of these people."
Michael Mandelkern, Ph.D.
Dean, Literature and Language

He brings tremendous professionalism, creative energy, an inquisitive nature, and a wealth of experience and ideas to his writing, editing, and teaching. Just the kind of qualities that have made him a successful freelance writer and editorial leader."
Kurt Indvik, Editor

I've enlisted him to write articles for The ASJA Monthly, which I edit, and last October he offered to moderate a panel at the UCI/American Society of Journalists and Authors Southern California conference. The article was a success, and Scott helped to make the conference a success; his panel was among the most popular."
