Hello, everyone.

     I am a retired high school English teacher with 26 years of classroom experience including ten years teaching Advanced Placement Language and Composition. Since my retirement in 2014, I have tutored middle and high school students in both creative and academic writing, edited three published novels, and helped numerous students write successful college application essays

     In 2014, I won the Houston Writer's Guild novel contest, and in 2015 I took second place in HWG's flash fiction contest. That same year, Black Rose Writing published my novel, Rogers Park. 

     I love to write, and I hope to foster that same joy in others. If interested, please contact me at mpople6@gmail.com.
