Berry College graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, M.A. in Creative Writing, and have written several short stories. I want to help you develop and refine your unique writing style.

Cooper is a recent graduate of Berry College, where he completed a BA in Creative Writing. He was my student in two creative writing classes, CRW 250 Introduction to Creative Writing and CRW 301 Intermediate Creative Writing, Poetry, and I have also read his recent work in fiction, his preferred genre. In my classes, he demonstrated a serious commitment to his own work as well as to that of his peers. As a creative writing major at Berry, Cooper completed a rigorous program which includes multi-genre study and three levels (beginning, intermediate, and advanced) in the preferred genre. Cooper also completed our demanding senior-level courses, Writing about Place and Writing in Community, as well as a number of upper division literature courses requiring significant critical writing. Berry’s creative writing workshop courses require not only extensive writing from the student but also an ability to articulate assessment of peer work with insight and tact. In addition, Writing and Community is a demanding service-learning course which requires community engagement and initiative. This is all experience that has well prepared Cooper for this position. Cooper is sincere, thoughtful, and well educate in this discipline, and I'm confident he will do good work for you.

Cooper was my student in literature classes as an undergrad at Berry College. He's an astute reader of literary texts and a writer of thoughtful, polished prose, skills that translate to his own creative writing. He will work one-on-one with folks on their creative work very effectively.
