Dear Mike: I would so love to have you as a writing coach! What a dream that would be! Could you please let me know; the course length, what sort of format are the lessons, is the coaching one-on-one online (OOOO-sounds Oprah-ish!) courses, or tutorials about writing, workshops, etc.? Also, please could you discuss your tuition costs as per diem; how much will these lessons cost, etc. I have had acting coaching, and writing coaching in the past from some notables as James Reaney (playwright - Canadian), Roy McDonald (journalist - Canadian), Dan Needles, playwright, Jane Ransberry, poet, Paul Haggis, friend's brother, etc., etc., James Murphy, Director Stage Door (Huron County Playhouse (i was 16 at the time)..I forget all the wonderful teachers right now being some 30 years ago Old friend is an actress (Jacqui Pillon) and Patti Lyons works in film (I believe Lions Gate Productions from down under), I believe my relative works in Detroit for Car Magazine (love to meet him) as well as various artists interviews, etc.Plus I think I mentioned my cousin (all Teahen cousins are related and come from St Marys Ontario)...so anyway, yes, I have the pedigree (dog?)..so, there you go. Hope this helps! This will open up a new door to my future and I would love to go there! Thanks Mike; Jane Jones Canada
