ORIGINAL RESEARCH

Lived School Experiences That Encouraged One Person To Become A Creative Writer (MEd Project; Prince George, BC: Education Department, UNBC, 2002) [Location in The Geoffrey R. Weller Library: LB1575.8.L85]

*

My formal apprenticeship as a writer includes intensive personal direction from masters such as Canada's Professor Robert Harlow, the USA's Paul Bagdon, and England's D. M. Thomas. I studied creative writing at The University of British Columbia (UBC), and I graduated from The Humber School for Writers' Creative Writing Program (Canada) and from The Writer's Digest's Advanced Novel Writing Program (USA).

From 1990 to 1998 I served as the editor of a literary journal called The Challenger. In 1998 I renamed the journal CHALLENGER international (listed in the 2003 Poet's Market, Writer's Digest Books, 2002), and I have served as its editor since then: http://challengerinternational.20m.com/index.html [ISSN: 1705-1932]. Through my Island Scholastic Press I have edited 27 collections of English poetry from Canada, the USA, Australia, Switzerland, Slovenia, Korea, Columbia, Ireland, and Russia. I also edit The Journal of Secondary Alternate Education, a journal of research, theory, and experience: http://journalsecondaryalternateeducation.20m.com/ [ISSN: 1705-1940].

For 25 years I have worked as a schoolteacher (BSc (mathematics), UBC, 1976; Teacher Training (kindergarten to grade three), UBC, 1977; MEd, UNBC, 2003), but I have also worked as a learning assistant, tutor, blues guitar teacher, workshop leader, car rental agent, longshoreman, porter on a cruise ship, deck hand on many tugboats, shipyard worker, cook, research assistant, janitor, warehouseman, gas jockey, British Columbia Horseshoe Championship scorekeeper, paper boy, berry picker, speech therapist-assistant, editor, literary agent, and poetry reviewer.

I teach Creative Writing 12 to senior students at Quesnel's McNaughton Centre. That course, which I wrote, is based on Professor Harlow's Creative Writing 202 at UBC. My course has been published by the British Columbia Teachers' Association.

Many of my creative writing students have had their work published in The Cariboo Observer, The Cariboo Advocate, The Challenger, Kids World Magazine, The Word is Out, Teacher, The Student Voice, Against the Wall, Western People, To the Wall, StudentsWrite.com (USA), TG: Voices of Today's Generation, The Journal of Secondary Alternate Education, and Challenger international; and through Island Scholastic Press.

I have also taught creative writing courses to adults through the Quesnel School District's Continuing Education Department.

As an actor, I have performed in four plays before audiences of up to 4000 at the Convention Center and Civic Center (both in Prince George, BC, Canada).

Peace doesn't just happen - it is sought out, negotiated, and can never be trusted to remain. Won't you help to keep it?
