CEO & Founder of Creative Writing Institute, a 501(c)3 non-profit charity that sponsors cancer patients in writing therapy courses, presents instructional material for new writers. The purpose of the articles is not to fully educate you but to present questions and answers that you can research more fully on your own. At CWI, all students receive a private tutor. Wouldn't it be nice to know your tuition also helps a cancer patient? Get free writing tips at http://www.creativewritinginstitute.com and http://deborahowen.wordpress.com/.
