A SPECIAL OFFER
I've been writing all my life. And I can't say that I've always enjoyed it. Writing is often painful, even more than physical labor.
But writing about the earliest writers in history can be a lot of fun. And what makes it even more interesting for me is working with student-writers on the works of ancient authors.
As part of this course, I am offering the opportunity to write a research paper. Please reach out to us to learn about the fee structure.
Tolle scribe!*

*Latin for "pick up and write." It's my play on Augustine's tolle lege ("pick up and read"), words that he heard from a child and that prompted him to read the Bible for the first time.
