JanieWrites

I am a freelance writer, faculty trainer, and online learning specialist. I am the Director of the Center for Writing Excellence (www.janiewrites.com) where I run a really fun fiction contest, teach great writing courses, hold webinars, and have an online, live, course on how to set up your own blog!

I have been writing since I was a teenager, have published articles in magazines, newspapers, and many newsletters. My family are all writers in some form or other and I published a family anthology a couple years ago with submissions from my parents, brothers, children and grandchildren. It was a great Christmas present and a wonderful way to showcase my family's talent.

I recently co-founded the Institute for Instructional Excellence, an online company devoted to custom learning systems and programs. We offer online training in teaching strategies, creative writing, and lifestyle coaching. Our Web address is: http://instructionalexcellence.net/
