You have a novel, or a play, in your head or heart that you just can't seem to get started. Or maybe you're stuck somewhere in the middle and can't see a way through it.

Or you've been trying to write issue #2 of your original comic book series … for over a year or more.

Basically you're not sure how to get that story out into the world.

I've been there many times, and because of that I can help you get over those hurdles.

For over 30 years I've been a professional writer and storyteller. I've written comics, plays, children's books, video games, interactive mysteries, and won several awards in the process.

And in all that time I've learned and taught tips, workshops and masterclasses in the U.S. and abroad.

My imagination has enable me to write about some amazing characters, from Sherlock Holmes fiction to Denzel Washington, from Scooby-Doo to Tarzan. I’m sure you've conjured up some of your own fantastic tales. You’re probably dying to write about some personal or family history that could entertaining or inspiring. Like most of us, all you need is guidance.

I’ve had it along the way, and I’ve shared it for years in face to face venues. Now and bringing those skills to a series of online services called GO WRITE FOR IT!

Click on this link below and give me your email address. I’ll give you more information and a free writer’s tip.

UPDATE: Comments are closed on this page. Please read the following. Hello all. Afrofuturefest, which focused on comics by people of color and based in NYC (and hasn’t been active since 2016), is different from Afrofuture Fest, which is apparently a musical organization of similar name based in Detroit. Please direct your attention to that organization.
