Sheldon Gaskell

My experiences with literary and film criticism have provided me the nuances in perspective and form essential to completing several life-long writing projects that simultaneously salute and defy (both in narrative and form) previous written achievements. I believe that nuanced fiction emerges from careful study and criticism, so my experiences in academia have prepared me for the challenging journey toward publication. Additionally, my teaching and writing center experiences have contributed to my obsession with the ethical and human-orientated possibilities in writing. My future pursuits, thus, involve private and public writing development, where I will work to achieve my personal goals of publication as well as direct a writing center to continuously facilitate and inspire emerging writers.
