The Importance of Specific Examples in Writing

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Lew Riley received his B.A. and M.A. in Communications from California State University, Fullerton. While earning his M.A., Lew began teaching writing courses at Cal-State Fullerton, and he's been teaching and writing professionally ever since. Lew has written several full-length comic plays that have been published and produced ("Game Show" is his most staged work; see dramaticpublishing.com), numerous magazine and newspaper articles, and a writing primer for the Avery Corporation ("Quick Writing Guide"). Currently, Lew is teaching online (after completing a three-year on-ground stint at DeVry University), writing (he just completed a screenplay, "Stealing Elvis") and rooting on the Anaheim Angels and Mighty Ducks, who play about ten miles from his home. (Watch out for the Angels; it could be a repeat of 2002!) Though Lew enjoys seeing his plays produced around the country, he considers his greatest "productions" his son, Christopher (17) and his daughter, Shannon (13).
