The Full Story
Hildie S. Block
I'm a writer who helps people tell stories.
That means work with adults writing novel and memoirs, teach writing workshops and help guide young people on their college essays. I have a masters in writing, over 20 years teaching mostly at the college level and leading workshops, and a background in College Admissions.
Philosophically, I'm focused on "Reader Response" -- I want to communicate beyond the words on the page, through the words on the page.
