BIO

I’m TJ. I write books (and other things).

Nonfiction

Fiction 

Poetry

I help other people write books (and other things).

I also teach.

Mostly what I teach is writing (workshops in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and screenwriting) and literature. I work with all kinds of students, in all kinds of classroom environments — in K-12 settings, at colleges and universities, and in community arts programs. If your writing group or community arts program is in the market for a workshop leader, I’d love to hear from you
