About the author

Hi! These short articles on writing come from me, Mark Fullmer, a writer and writing teacher. I was born in California and have been a quondam resident of Austin, Boston, Brooklyn, New Orleans, New Mexico, Oxford, the Philippines, and now Tucson. I have degrees in music and English.

I’ve taught communication courses nationally and abroad, and self-authored a short story collection, poetry collection, and interactive game novel, which I’ll maybe tell you about sometime.

I also make software, including various Drupal projects and the Gendered Text Project.

The style and substance of these short articles are geared toward new writers. The tips and examples are not meant to be comprehensive. They should be used a starting point for self-driven learning about writing.
