I am delighted to have been selected as this year’s Jack Kerouac Writer in Residence at the UMASS Lowell. I will be teaching playwriting starting Monday, January 27th, 2014. Excited to meet and work with a new group of students. Very glad to be part of this wonderful department for a semester. I follow some great writers to this post.

The UMass Lowell Jack Kerouac Writer-in-Residence Program hosts an author as a guest in the University community to write, teach, and offer a public reading, usually during the spring semester. The Program is hosted by the English Department, and funded in part by John Sampas, Executor of the Kerouac Literary Estate, and the Provost’s Office.
