I am very happy to announce that I have been published! I wrote a book aimed at helping students learn how to improve their writing called French on English: A Guide To Writing Better Essays.
I have been teaching writing in higher education for over 25 years, primarily at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA and Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA, and I have written many handouts that I use in my classes. Among the topics covered in these handouts are drafting, editing, revision, confused words, and grammar. Many years ago, one of my students suggested that I put them into a book and call it French On English. The idea germinated inside me for a long time, and I finally decided I should do it.
I finally used those handouts as a basis for the book, and I added to them to create this text on writing essays.
Then I had the good fortune of speaking with a new publisher, who wanted to publish the book! Firebrand Literary Press is a wonderful organization, and I am extremely pleased by their work on this book and their support of me in my efforts! Thank you!
French on English: A Guide To Writing Better Essays is available now on Amazon.
Congrats! What a great idea to put those handouts into a book! And that title is brilliant, too.

Dr. French, wow, congrats on the book. I’ve been a bit behind on posts as I just retired. I continue to follow your writing on your site, although I’m now working to get our boat ready for long distance cruising full time-

I certainly would if I had a links page. I do not think I do, only a “blogs I follow”. I am not extremely certain about these things, but I do follow your blog. Charles French

Excellent news and congratulations. I hope your work gets wide recognition and distribution. I fear quality writing is on the decline in the age of Twitter. One day I hope to join you in the ranks of the published. ;~)
